to find out if feather mite or ones live on chickens or ones live in coop.? Got back my 3 gals. (two are 4 yr olds, BG 5 yrs old) . Thats all that survived from my 11 sweet ladies. after predators etc got them when they were elsewheres.never lost any to predators when living here.
Noticed I believe right away BG had less feathers around her vent. who would be able to post id.that variety of mite?
Not certain if they had them before I got them back or the creepos are living in their bare coop with no bedding just rubber mat on the rv coop?trailer floor\
Im almost sorry I got them back cause mites are so hard to deal with. someone on this forum said some grounds are just mite more friendly. They range 1/2 acre fenced in. just the 3 of them. got sand for their galv tub that I had stored in clean dry wall bucket stored under big overhangs. So no new stuff could infest sand.. I had sifted some
I put that bl bl Poultry dust on them last night again used a Dawn Dish washing handy dandy round "sponge mop". (under wings too) (I knew something was up when I watched them scratching at night.) new item I had. hard to find Got for a dollar quite a while ago. dont know if Dollar General still can get them. to me better than a powder puff.
Im too old to deal with this again. They were gone for 1 1/2yrs. coop was closed up along with gate to . But I did find 3 days in a roll nesting made from grass moss etc in a stud cavity. each day I ckeaned it out. dont know if mouse or was a small bird. so many wild birds around here. @ inch Pw on roof of "run" thats attached to coops. thanks all
