EWWWWW! We had been losing frizzle chicks and had a batch of coccidiosis go through so I figured it was the tail end of that. But the last one that died a few days ago we looked at closely and there was teeny pale bugs crawling all over it, EVERYWHERE! They are not lice but mites I think. I can't see any on the live birds but LOTS and LOTS just crawling everywhere under waterers, feeders and in bedding. My daughter even got bit moving the birds last night. I am grossed out and so scared we are going to infest our house and children cause they DO bite! I think they came in on the last batch of straw maybe?? I have dusted the birds and the areas they were in and closed off where they were. But will they move and look for blood?
