Out of 30 chickens, 1 hen has a bad case of mites. I found her collapsed in the run but still alive. I brought her in our house and within a few hours, realized she was COVERED in mites. She has been quarantined and has been sprayed with Pen and Poultry (Permethrin) she has also been bathed in an apple cider vinegar/dawn dish soap bath to removed the dead mite and mite poop reside. She is looking much better, but still kind of lethargic. Ive checked all the others and have seen nothing on them and they are all acting normal. I havent seen evidence in their coop of mites. Is it possible that only 1 hen is affected? Its winter here and we deep litter bed. Do i need to remove everything and burn it? Do i need to spray down the coop and all of the other birds?
