Chick dust

[Katrinasofia]

Being new at this and very cautious, I bought Poultry Dust fot mites. After reading the warnings I'm afraid to use it. Suggestions?

It's safe to use on chicks.

I used it for chicks that were 2 days old. They and mama hen were in a nest full of mites. I moved them to a new area thoroughly dusted with Poultry Dust, and dusted the hen. No ill effects. They are grown now.

Poultry dust is safer than getting anemic from loss of blood from mites. Mites are far worse, and I wouldn't hesitate to use the dust.

Do they have mites? If not then no need to treat things that are not there.

I see small bites. Some seem bloody

If they have mights you can usually see them crawling around on them and see clusters small, white eggs near their necks.
