I think I saw mites in my barnevelder hen! They were small and yellow. I also saw what looked like larvae. I saw them on her thighs, near her eyes, her earlobes, and her vent. I covered her feathers, dust bath, and nesting boxes in diatomaceous earth. I am planning on giving her a warm bath with some pet shampoo. Would that do the trick? She is new, and I was planning on introducing her to the flock tonight on the roost....But now I am not so sure. The problem is I do not have anywhere else for her to sleep. Please help! How do I get rid of them? Where can she sleep?
Thank you SO much.
