Oh dear! I have no experience with that, but is the food inside alright? I hope you can figure out a solution!

I’m going to have to throw away half a feed bag, but we have like 3 others downstairs. If the outside is infested then the inside definitely is. I don’t know how I’m supposed to clean the spot where the bag was though. It’s leaning up against the wall and there’s a 2 inch area where there’s no wall at the bottom since my room is still being built, and I sat the bag on a stack of ceramic tiles

Can you open one of the bags downstairs and just fill a container with enough food for a few days? Something you can seal.

 

[Nero70002]

Yeah I’ll try that, I think we might have a container

What should I clean up the mites left on the floor with?
And also I just cleaned the brooders, and am in the bath with the older babies right now in a swimsuit. A little bit ago I let the younger babies have their first bath. Both Cupid and Casper like standing on my legs and preening, so I always have to support them with my hand since they fall over.

I decided to check the older ones feet to make sure they’re okay, and I found what looks to be little cuts/scratches on their feet. Is this normal? If it’s actually cuts Whats it from? Maybe the wood shavings? They’re kinda sharp sometimes. Cherrys been sitting more than I’d like her to, so I’ve been making sure she gets a little extra yeast, but now that I see their feet I think it might be this since it. The colors are kind of off, but Cherry’s are the worst irl.

Ugh, ducks swimming

The tops of their feet are also super veiny

 

[JacinLarkwell]

The only spot I'd check out are the spots on the webbing that look like small chicken flesh. Mine all have the ridges on their toes, pretty sure it's just their knuckles. The skin is super thin too and they have high body temps, which both make veins more visible

 

[Canadian Wind]

Yup, those are just the normal ridges, nothing to worry about.

You are BRAVE to be sitting in a tub with poop-machines!

My first thought was it’s probably not a great idea to be in there with them health wise (for you).
