I went out to my coop and found one of my hens with bad gout. I know it was gout because I just had to put one of my other hens down for this a few months back
. I decided I did not want the meat to go to waste so I was going to butcher her for the dinner table. When I picked her up I felt something crawling on my arm. It was a tiny tiny little brown bug. UGH Sorry for such details but we are new to raising chickens and where we live at below zero temps I didn't know we could get bugs. Can anyone tell me what this might be and how to treat it. We have 26 other hens and 1 rooster that we need to check and figure out how to treat if they are infected. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
