Lice eggs are white and chunky. (nits)

Not sure about the others but I can't see your photo.

just one place make sure you get it under the feathers and on the skin directly.. does not affect eggs so still good to eat too ;-)

I've heard varying dosage recommendations on Irvmectrin, but the reason I'd rather dip or dust is egg withdrawl times.


Of course, it's been hot lately here- dipping might not be wise if it's cold where you're at unless you provide added heat anyway.

It depends on how badly you want to eat them. And if you want to be wormed also.

Thanks for the tip. I usually feed the eggs to our barn cats during medications and the like. So they wont go to waste. The birds most severely affected aren't lying yet, aside from 2 older ones so it shouldn't be a big deal. Thanks again!

I think it would be hard to see any nits on a white chicken unless they get very bad or you look really close, so I'm going to have to guess at lice - although I could be wrong.

Anyone else feel free to jump in here though....

Oh, and will this also take care of internal parasites?
