Thank you! We will have to check for ticks tomorrow when it’s brighter outside. I will look into getting the spray. Do I need to be concerned that she may have a tick-borne disease already? Are her eggs safe to eat? All 4 chickens are laying brown eggs so not even sure which are hers.Ticks can inject a blood thinner that causes bleeding into the tissue, and may look bluish like a bruise. There have been quite a few of those posted about here. Ticks can spread some bad diseases, so I would look around for ticks in the coop, and think about spraying with permethrin.
