Lice or other bugs in straw for bedding
I get what you’re saying. And yes it’s good to get ahead of a problem before it becomes really big problem. My flock goes regularly (probably more even then need be to the vet) I haven’t seen anything since, not on the ducks, nit on feathers, and I left the white face on the straw bales and... -
Lice or other bugs in straw for bedding

Bad drake behavior
