Default RE: HELP! Turkey Mites???

Hot water kills most bugs..........and soap......shower witht he hottest water yo can stand.

You cold try RidX(Pharmacy on the shelf)I think that is the brand) for hair lice. What you have pictured is really a feather louse. Give me a dy or so and I'll look that critter up in my pesticide manual as I do work inthe industry.

One thing you could do - is freeze the bird a bit......cold will make any lice slow way way down.....and make sure you have bare arms.

I have found feather lice on many ducks Ihave plucked but never a turkey....
