I read vinigar (bought it in bulk at costco) is natural replant for the little buggers. They LOVE biting me i spray it on me then rub it to cover my skin and let me tell you it works. So i wounder if yiu can spray it on the chickens. I mean dont drown them in it but put in a spray bottle and do a quick spritz on the feathers maybe the face too once they close there eyes to sleep.

That's a good idea and worth a try. Lot of people use vinegar in various ways for their chickens, whether adding organic vinegar to water for gut health or using it make disinfecting sprays.
I haven't had many problems with insects so far

I read quite a bit and run across methods that others use and try to tuck the ideas in my brain somewhere.
Here's a few "natural" alternatives I'm not sure how effective, but worth a look and try.

I suspected pox as well but no lesions anywhere else including inside her mouth, feet or vent. This is why I suspected the mosquitos as there was an insane amount in the coop. But it still might be a good idea to separate her and treat her as a pox case just in case. Got some spray from TSC to help treat sores that was also safe for and around their eyes. Hopefully it will help. I Just need one eye to open and she'll be good.

so what kind of spray did you get from TSC and did it heal
