Hey all!
Before I get started I'll just mention that I'll add a photo as soon as I can take one/see more of the bugs
We have a hen who was inside in a cage for a few days working on a large crop she has (different issues lol) and today when I went to pick her up, after putting her down I had about a dozen little teeny tiny bugs on my arm. We're talking the size of a freckle. There is no blood smear when killing them, and when I had been looking at her chest previously I didn't notice any mite build up.
I'm going to go out tonight and investigate further but there are no symptoms of mites (feather loss, lethargic girls, no reluctance to roost, no visual build up on vents that I know of)
I can't find any info on who would be active during the day??
I have Elector PSP on the way, and I'll do a coop clean out when it arrives but any ideas?
