Denise30 Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Hi all! I only just discovered that my chicken have a lice infestation! I have a white Cochin which I noticed was preening a bit too frequently and I had a look at her today and boom! There they were, the nasty crawlies… 🤢 I cleaned their coop yesterday and they have fresh bedding with nesting flowers, I have disinfected all nooks and crannies as usual with spray, diatomaceous earth etc. They are usually very clean and I keep a strict hygiene routine, I do all this every Friday. I tried to find a spray that is suitable for use on poultry, anything that kills louse!? They all seem to be for red mite and none of them are suitable for application on the actual bird. How do we get rid of the nits/eggs?! Please can someone recommend any products/ treatment routine for lice? Many thanks in advance 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullethunter Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 The best thing for lice is to treat with ivermectin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
