Winchester512, I have been out all day. Did you find a pesticide to kill those bugs on your hen? How is she doing?

But there are nothing like that here. I've got to find replacement i guess.
I would NOT use DE on them to get rid of lice. Sevin or poultry dust or you will lose your birds. You need to get rid of them quickly since it's been an ongoing infestation and you're birds are struggling.
Be sure to dust all of your birds and clean the coop. Put new bedding and nest box filling and use the powder in the nest box and in the rest of the bedding. Just getting the bugs off the birds isn't the only thing you must do you have to get the bugs out of the chickens environment or they will just get back on the chickens. If you have access to probiotics that will help the chickens recover.
Not yet, gotta wait till the morningWinchester512, I have been out all day. Did you find a pesticide to kill those bugs on your hen? How is she doing?
Where are you? That might help.
Turns out there is not sevin dust available here in my town, I found some dust called Propoxur 1%. I'm going to use that on her.
Okay. Is it listed for chickens or pets, or garden plants? Edible plants or animals?
Remember, all your birds will need to be dusted as well as all their living area: coop, nests, etc.
