    Help - Broody chicken at 18 days + Red Spider Mite

    Don't really want to move my girl from eggs but noticed Spider Mite and don't know what to do. Can she be treated on the nest? Powdered coop 4 days ago but the little buggers are persistant!!!!!

    Broody Hen - listless

    Thanks - she seems to have perked up a bit and had a drink. Only sitting on 2 of her eggs - the other 4 cool so I've removed them. Do you think if I keep them warm I could put them back under her tomorrow?

    Broody Hen - listless

    Broody Hen - listless
