I don't think there are mites but I will check when bathing them tomorrow.

Thank you! Their poop does not look like any of the worrisome poop. It could have to do with the low roosting bars and excess of feathers. I will keep an eye on them and maybe attempt a bath one day this week.

They were in my van for 3ish hours.

Also, We have a temp coop for a week or so (Getting adult hens was a last minute thing) and the roosting bar in this piece of crap coop is only like 2 inches off the bottom :(. The coop is also not very accessible for me to get in there and check.

I was told they were eating layer feed. Not sure on age. I was just told they would be laying soon. They laid an egg during transport yesterday.

Thank you! I will try that. I want to try cleaning them. We are in FL so it's not cold, high of 80 for the next 3 days. They are new to me though so I don't want to traumatize them.

I just noticed 2 odd looking poops. I have no idea how to look for lice or mites. do I just grab the tail and lift to look? Here are the 2 odd poops that one of them just did. they both have poop on their butt, one a little more than the other.

We just bought these 2 hens yesterday. I'm completely new to raising chickens. Is it normal for poop to be stuck to them? Not sure what their diet was like before. I am feeding them layer feed from rural king and fresh kale from my garden.
