mites on hens

[Kiki]

I have not tried that no she seems to eat well though but does have a tough time ripping up greens and fruit

Do you feed treats daily?

We will try one of the products someone suggested


The hen the mites are really bothering is our Easter egger pullet waggy
She won’t eat much, is excessively preening, and she is starting to become anemic.
She also is our weakest hen even before we had mites she was always acting diffent and she also has a deformed beak.

And yes we have begun speckles treatment for scaly leg mites and her sisters too.

I would start treatment as soon as possible.
If she is excessively preening, then she's not eating well, you've got to get rid of the mites so she can get better.
I would offer her a wet mash of feed, give her a little egg or beef liver too for a boost. Poultry vitamins 2 times a week for a couple of weeks as well.
