For the past half a year my sweet crossbeak girl was struggling with chicken lice, we tried many things to treat her and nothing worked until some prescribed imvermectin spray a month or 2 ago! We've had no more signs of live lice on her but there are some very stubborn lice egg clumps in her feathers we can't get out, we bathe her every couple weeks because she can't properly clean herself because her disability and we have noticed the eggs the past few times and when her lice were still alive I would sit and kill as many as I could when drying her off.
Today they are all dead but she still has those egg clumps, which I'm sure cannot be very comfortable for her. We've tried everything from washing the feathers individually with dawn soap and a toothbrush to trimming the clumps down a bit to thin them out and they are still persistent. Is there anything that helps get them out better that would be safe to use for her?
Sorry if the formatting isn't great it's fairly late at night for me at the moment
