Permethrin spray works for me. I treat twice a year.
Scaly leg mites are more of an issue besides lice. I use rubbing alcohol for them, or petroleum jelly.

Well, now I gotta replace my Black Sumatra Hen. Found her dead this morning. Looks like she was squished at bedtime. It was extra cold last night.

Well, today is day 3 on the Brahma Cockerel's quarantine, & still no sign of illness. He's more happy though. Gets excited to see me when I open the greenhouse.

Mine all panic when I grab a bird. They leave the 150x600ft poultry yard if they can.

ETA what scalpel are you using?

2 of the 5-6 eggs my Aunt gave me to feed to my chickens were rotten. She said they all bobbed when float tested. Bobbing is when they're still at the bottom of the water with a slight lift at the air cell end. According to the float test those are still okay. The rotten eggs that were float tested proved this test as a sham.
