Help mites!!!!!

[SputniksChickens]

Please help! My chicken has been sick and I didn’t know the cause. I checked her for mites and lice and didn’t find anything before. I brought her in last night because she started getting bullied and when I checked on her this morning I saw all these mites on her. Now I’m freaking out about her health and if they are going to get into my other pets or infest the inside of my home. Cane they do that? She has a vet appt today but I don’t know if I should keep her inside my house until then or set the her cage outside?

Clean out the coop, apply permethrine based powder or spray, especially nooks and crannies, then get all new bedding and litter.
Dust her with permethrine poultry powder.
Most mites are host specific, they shouldn't bother your other pets

Thank you! I had her in my house overnight. Do you think they’ll get in my furniture? Should I be worried about them staying inside my home?

Vacuuming should be enough, I wouldn't bring any more birds in until you have the mites sorted out.

Are the white fleck mites? I didn’t know those were mites

Are they moving? Are you sure those are mites?
