Re: [CHICKENS-101] Re: Help please

 

Mites and/or lice will weaken a chicks quickly...what do you use on your adult birds?  Do you have any poultry spray, frontline dog and cat spray, Adams flea and tick spray?   Even though two of the products are off label use, I'd use them on a weak chick.  I'd spray all my chicks.  Then as soon asap treat this chick for cocci and hand feed her.

 did see little brown things running around on my arm after holding her. they maybe lice or mites??? If so, how do I get them off her without making her worse since she is so weak???

I will try moistened food and also the other items you suggested and the others who gave some ideas too....
I want her to live but I don't want her to suffer either.

Peace
