I was sitting with my broody hen a few mins ago... and saw mites on her and in the nest box and in the hay in the box....her broody nest is separate from the hen house and the henhouse and other hens are mite free.....it may have come from the hay we just lined it with or simply cause its a new box my husband just built and we unfortunately did not dust it.... my question is can i dust her and the box now....she is sitting on eggs that will be 21days on tuesday...so we are close to hatching.....what should I do????? HELP!!!
