Hi,
We are new to raising chickens and need some guidance. We bought 12 chicks from TSC. They are about a week old. We bought the TSC starter kit and the TSC brand of pine shavings. We give them dirt from outside to have as grit and to dust bath in. My question is can they either be bought with already having mites or can they get it from the dirt outside or their pine shavings. I don't know for sure if they have them. I am speculating that they might because after three or four days of having them it feels like something is biting us the humans but you can't see what it is biting you. If they do have them then how do we get rid of them. Thank you!
