Hi,
so my chickens had mites, so I sprayed them with a mixture of water and garlic juice. Now they only have a few mites and I'm pretty sure that the mites will be gone soon. One of the chickens had a really bad mite infestation to the point where she stopped laying eggs. We sprayed down the coop with a different spray and sprayed the chickens with the garlic. We gave the one that had the most mites more spray than the others. I've read that mites can cause stress that can cause the chicken to stop laying. It's been two weeks and there is still now sign of an egg from her. What should I do? Does she hurt or is she fine?
thanks
