how

you have to look closely at the skin under the fluff and feathers. Lice are little tiny things and chicken mites are even tinier, but you can see them crawling. if you google it, there will be photos. I don't know if that's the problem, but it might be. Maybe others would know. Is your chick still itching herself?
