[UrbanChickFarm]

I was cleaning out the nesting box today and noticed all these tiny long black bugs scuring around. any idea what they could be? They are black and long and fast.

Sorry, even zooming in the picture I still can't see it, just a blurry picture. Hope someone can help.

Might be Springtails.

They don't appear to be parasitic but I don't like any kind of bugs in my nest boxes or in my coops. Good luck...

I know it’s hard. Can I upload the video on here? They don’t look like mites right? Too long?

They kind of look like tiny ants.

Upload your video to your own YouTube then click, share link and post it here to your thread.

You would need to use your zoom before recording it. Otherwise the video would show black dots moving around.
