Chirping
Thank you all for the advice. We've had rainy weather all week, so I haven't treated for the lice yet. On the bright side that has given me an opportunity to check some other hens. I think we have mites, too!?! How big are mites? The bugs I see are about the size of ground black pepper. When I lift the hens off the eggs at night, I can see the bugs crawling on the eggs and birds. Does that sound like mites?
