Maybe you have the problem cured and maybe not.
Feathers won't grow back until the next molt ... if the problem gets worse then it's not solved .... If it doesn't get worse, then you might be ok.
In regards to feather loss. If a rooster creates a bare back, they won't regrow until the next molt ... same with other mite problems too.
I always, and this is my method for avoiding mites of all kinds 100% of the time..... A small amount of 5% sevin dust in their dusting places eliminates them all .... It must be 5% sevin and don't overdo it ...like salt on your food!
It used to be recommended for this use, however nowadays with all the tree huggers it's an off label use. Sad part is, it actually works, and the chicken suffer now because of the correct folks in control now. They think DE is a cure all ... wrong!
Stay Safe, ... bigz
