I have found mites and a couple of spider looking guys on the feathers that have fallen off two of 8 of my hens. I found it via a high powered lens my husband uses to view coins. Ok, so I did a diamateous earth dust on my RIR avoiding her face and upwind. But after looking at the black feather, I know I have a problem. Do I dust all of them? I will be changing out the bedding in the boxes of course and on the floor. What do I use? I have read many threads and still not sure.
Oh, and just to add to my drama, I had 4 extra eyes looking at me late yesterday afternoon. One was the mouse I have found evidence of, and the snake I removed. No eggs were taken!!!! I am a little confused about how my girls got these mites. Is it inevitable? or bad housing? or the mouse???? thanks in advance
