What do we do?? Our BO broody that has been sitting on my eggs is infested with mites or at least the eggs were covered with little black crawling bugs. I thought at first they were just dirt but when I tried to brush them off they started crawling all over the place, me included! :eek: Anyway, how do we treat the broody and eggs without hurting the little chick inside( since the egg shell breaths I am concered about what we can treat mom and egg with or for that matter what to even do.......... I have never encountered this before. HELP ME PLEASE.......

I use Ivomec to treat mine but you could buy some poultry dust or if you have DE. I also spray orange guard in my coops and it is all natural too.

Norther Mites....Yuck! Mites by any name are just grose :eek: But, basically I can just treat everything with say Sevin Dust and it shouldn't hurt the eggs?
