Help - Broody chicken at 18 days + Red Spider Mite

[laceychick]

Don't really want to move my girl from eggs but noticed Spider Mite and don't know what to do. Can she be treated on the nest? Powdered coop 4 days ago but the little buggers are persistant!!!!!

I think your chickens will be okay. Red spider mites feed on plants, not animals. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_spider_mite) Unless, it's a different sort of pest you have. (http://ohioline.osu.edu/vme-fact/0018.html)
