Mites...is it possible

[Bitofablonde]

Mites typically do not have such a defined head to body or so large, but it could be the angle.
'Natural' is not inherently safer than what we call 'chemicals'. In reality
chemicals can be easily controlled but natural things can vary wildly. Most natural substances can be much more harmful than people want to believe. They're also rarely tested for safety.
Get some permethrine based spray or powder, clean out your coop completely. Apply the products and get all new bedding and litter. Dust you birds.
Don't bother with D.E ( horrible for you and your birds to breathe, also a product of strip mining, which is awful for the planet), ashes, lime, garlic, tea tree etc, all are harmful to birds in any form, if you over do it.

I'm not a DE fan, so no worries there. I'm careful with the lime but do know that can help mitigate but not totally eradicate either.

I agree, natural products can be just as harmful in some cases, or prolong issues because they don't actually treat the issue. I've seen it many times in the vet industry.

I will for sure be grabbing the permethrin spray or powder to use.

I appreciate your input, thanks!
