I have a terrible infestation of red fowl mites and I sprayed the coop top to bottom yesterday (2x in one day) . The hens were treated as well. I looked this morning and the bugs are still running around bright red and full of blood 😫 I lost a hen to it so I really need to get them under control...
Is it possible to take a rather sad looking Lavender Orphington who’s has very shredded feathers and cross her back to a black bird and get offspring without that trait? If I crossed that offspring with a lavender again would it just dredge the feather gene up again??
