Even if she doesn't have mites, there is no issue with treating her anyway. That is one of the best things about ivermectin. A lot of us use it on a twice-yearly basis as a preventative, as it also controls a lot of your internal parasites as well. Just make sure that what you get is the correct concentration - 0.1%. This is important as there are quite a few different concentrations available for larger stock animals. And it is easy to apply; just one drop on the back of the neck, feathers parted as the drop must go onto the skin. Once only is a preventative dose; once a week for three weeks is a treatment dose. I am not totally convinced she does have mites ........ also if you have other birds it would be a good idea to treat them as well. I am glad she is a hen; she looks too feminine to be a boy. And with those last two photos I would definitely have said girl.

I'd definitely say hen too. Corie is right.
