    Mite infestation (thoughts on white vinegar)?

    So I recently found out one of my chickens had mites which I've never ever had and now all of my chickens has them, but some not as much but I'm completely cleaning the whole cage, though that's nothing new as I clean it on average of about 2 weeks, but was wondering if it was safe to spray...

    We have mites...again....😭😭

    So we started treating mites 3-4 weeks ago. First we treated with permethrin for a week or 2 then switched to ivermectin for 2 weeks. We cleaned the coop out and sprayed it down each time we treated the birds. I double and triple checked the dosages and concentrations we used. We checked last...

    Lice? Mites? What are these!

    On several occasions now I’ve spotted a bug of some sort scampering between my hen’s feathers! It’s larger than what I would expect any kind of mite to be - about the length of a fingernail. It was dark coloured. And it was FAST. Zoomed away when I tried to flick it off. I’ve not seen any on my...

    I think I found northern poultry mites on my eggs?

    I went to my coop to take a out the eggs and saw little crawlies all over them… it’s the first time I’ve noticed this… I’ve got around 30 birds and I’m honestly at a loss. I don’t know what to do and I’m not even sure if that’s what I saw. But after some research that’s what it looks like. I’m...

    Fall 2020 two of my hens had a hard molt, while one lost feathers around her neck. The two hens who hard molted, grew their feathers back like normal, within a few months. However, my featherless necked hen didn’t grow her feathers back. In fact, she lost a bit more around her wing shoulder...

    Mites during molting?

    How do you know if your quail has mites, and if they are gone? They are molting, I see the one with baby feathers replacing for adult feathers. Sometimes I see a broken feather, is it because I stress them out so much because I keep checking them, or would it be mites? I don't really see...
