    bugs, but not mites on my chicken!

    Thanks, I'll do it right now. I'm guessing she won't like it when they all start crawling around pre-death, but I'll do it.

    bugs, but not mites on my chicken!

    This morning when I was holding my new 6 month old hen, I noticed a bunch bugs on my sleeve. They were tan-colored, half of a grain of rice sized, burrowing, semi-hard body, 2 part body, no wings, not maggot, not mite, no visible legs and not lice. She just came from a farm and I never seen this...

    Is this normal or a problem?

    I just took a picture, but I don't know how to attach it. She has ear tufts. Also, I'm pretty sure that was her egg, just because it looked different than any other egg I've seen. I have a Barred Rock who is due to start laying momentarily also though. I'll post a picture if someone tells me...

    Is this normal or a problem?

    I just got a new (6 month old) Auracana hen. She seems to be doing fine, but her beak is curved and pointed like an eagle. She's eating ok, I think.... She's healthy and happy. Is this a problem or am I a new paranoid mom? Also, her egg was brown and speckly. Do they not lay green everyday? Thanks
