Hello,
We have three baby chicks. They are about a week from going outside. Just about the time they came home we started to get bug bites. At first I thought our dogs might have fleas (though we have lived in Phoenix for 4 years and never had any it seemed like the most obvious option) I washed the dogs and we kept being bitten. Then about a week ago I saw a tiny little mite looking think about the size of a dot (.) walking away. When I squished it I noticed it was filled with blood. I then found about 4 more. I have washed everything from the down mattress cover to the sheets. We also have a Pottery Barn sofa that has removable linen cover ... I took it all off and washed it. I still found 2 tiny bugs ... I am wondering if this has anything to do with the chickens and if so what should I do?
Thanks,
Charlotte
