No other evidence of mites. I know depluming mites burrow under skin and live in feather shafts.

I have read so many threads on this subject. No vets here will see chickens. Do you do a full clean out of coop? I already did that in late February with Elector PSP. I. no longer have that (psp). All signs point to depluming mites.

No we can’t see mites but you can’t anyway with depluming mites.

So what do you mean course of treatments?

Back in late February/early March I treated entire flock with Ivermectin. 2nd dose 10 days apart. Found new patches on 3 different hens. Skin is crusty and two others skin is red. I have a flock of 21. Can they return this quickly or is it that the Ivermectin did not eradicate the mites...

Coop clean out was done and treated with elector PSP. I am wondering if I put Permithryn powder in the run since they dust bath in the run would it still be harmful for my indoor cats when I come back to the house? We haven't seen any evidence of feather picking. Just to themselves on their...

On back of the head there are no feathers. Its all smooth skin. Could this be a molt due to stress of depluming mites?

My flock had depluming mites. I treated with Ivermectin based on Gail Damrow book. 2nd treatment was done last Friday. Since yesterday I noticed the back of the head of several girls are missing feathers quarter size. This was not there last Friday. Is this a molt? When depluming mites are...

Thanks for bringing this option up. Can you show a picture of the Eprinex?

What type of Ivermectrin is best for depluming mites? I have elector PSP coming this Friday but others are saying that will not work. If Ivermectrin is better then which one (pour on or injectable which can be applied topically). I am concerned about using Ivermectrin as there is a 7 day egg...

Azure- If you can find a drop off point local then shipping fee is eliminated.

Did you wrap the feet after spraying? Just curious. I am currently doing Tricide-neo and its working but expensive.

Thank you for this!! Do you wrap the feet after? One of her foot I noticed today her skin is cut and flapping. I am sure its due to using the drawing salve. Probably should wrap that foot afterwards. The one with no cuts I can leave wrap off.
