Hi guys and gals, I'm new to chickens been doing this about 3 months. I started with 6 hens and a roo, shortly after I picked up 3 more hens. I'm averaging about 5 eggs a day. I'm not sure who all is laying but they are happy hens for sure. What tips might you have for a newbie? I'm looking as far as pests/ parasites to watch out for or signs of their presence.

See below link on parasites:
