Thanks. There seems to be some debate about whether the Northern Fowl mite infests people's houses and lives off human hosts. I still feel the creepy feeling of bugs crawling on me and noticed a few bites.
Our rooster was attacked by a fox last week. I brought him into the basement while he healed. He is recovering fine but while in the house I noticed he had a bad mite infestation (Northern Fowl Mite). I treated him and the rest of the hens yesterday, but I'm worried my house in now infested...
I have a 9 month old Buff hen whose tail feathers have not grown in. I've never seen this before. Perhaps she is just slow to develop? Her behavior and laying is normal. Could this be due to stress from the rooster? Any thoughts?
Hello,
I have a four month old dark brahma that was supposed to be a hen, but I've suspected he was a cockerel for some time. But I want to be certain before I have to let him or one of the other roosters go, please help.
