If you have Neosporin or Vaseline that might help with some of the dryness. I don’t know what is wrong.

Alright! I’ll try to see if it helps.

Yes! I know.

If you have vinegar rinse her off in that. Dawn dish soap works great but if you have flee and tick on hand then use that.

In the coop there is many products that you should look into getting but for right now you can do a few things. Clean the coop all the way out. If you have a way to wash it then go for it. If you have mite spray you can spray it down with that. If not soapy water spray will kill a few runners. Food grade diatomaceous earth can be put under the bedding.

There are many ways to handle mites so if you don’t like something you can say so and I can try to suggest something else.

You can take her to the vet if you want. You can invest in some ivermectin (it is expensive). Do you want to stay in the cheep side? Or away from chemicals?

You can put vaseline on her facial area to smother the mites, permethrin dust the rest of her as well her habitat.
