Peachicks lice?

Pics
Date sort Score sort
I would suggest maybe that something gentle is not what you need right now. Something that knocks out the lice is what you need IMHO. Casportpony is very knowledgeable and ALSO an expert in peas. That is why I called her in. She looked at your pic and sees the babies looking rather poorly. I would have no idea, but she does!

Pyrethrin (permethrin) is based upon a chrysanthemum/daisy...it is very natural and I am rather a user of those things....so I like it very much. Get the dust AND the spray, dust the babies, burn the bedding, spray the housing...clean everything very well. You will note I am not even advocating the use of diluted bleach although that my not be a bad idea. I would break my own rules if it came to the health of my babies. There ya go, hope that helps!
 
Also, is there a certain age that they get their green and blue neck feathers? Only one of them just started getting some. I'm brand new to peas.

Call them or feed store to make sure they have it....I would get both going forward...follow casportpony's advice she is the experienced one...seems like time is of essence, nasty little bugs huh?

Many people don't realize it, but lice can kill a bird the same way mites can.
