    Chicken First aid kits

    Grrrrrrain mites

    I had no idea that you could find mites already living in newly purchased feed. I am trying to learn about the care of chicks and chickens, BEFORE I start my first coop. So I added this to my notations in my book I'm reading. Thanks for the tip.

    Hi, I'm Dom Lover and do not have, nor have ever had chickens to raise. So all the help I can get is gladly accepted.
