Diatomaceous Earth! Why didn't *I* think of that! I musta been brain dead yesterday. I use that stuff in my garden! Thanks for all your suggestions folks! I truly appreciate it!
Thanks for the info ya'll! Lookin' at those lice n mites gave me the hibby jibbies. My head started itchin' . It says a mite infestitation can cause decreased egg production, weight loss and decreased appetitie. She ain't got none of that. Frontline on chickens..I learn somethin' new everyday...

Hi ya'll! I have 12 RIR hens that are very healthy except for this one. She pulls her feathers out only in the summer. I was told maybe it's mites but it seems to me if it was mites they would all be looking like this. I was told to dust her. I don't like the idea of putting chemicals like seven...
