Hi, I have a hen sitting on eggs about to hatch any day now. I noticed the other chickens have been itching alot lately, lice or mites? I also noticed some little bugs crawling on the eggs they also crawl up my legs when I enter the coop. I also have extremely itchy bites on my body. Could this be from lice or mites?
I was going to purchase some DE, should I dust the hen sitting on the eggs? What should I do once the chicks hatch?
This is my first experience with chickens and lice or mites any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
