Ok. Thank you!The flies could definitly be irritating them, biting them and causing the itching. Mites could also be to blame.
Upper respiratory illnesses can also cause their faces to itch, whenever the dreaded mycoplasma “CRD” re-emerges mine start itching their faces more along with snicking and head shaking. Unfortunatly if mycoplasma is what’s been making pretty bird sick it, it’s a chronic issue that won’t go away, it will just keep popping back up like it does in my flock.
Crushing oregano and garlic in their water can help boost their immune system and also help to keep mites away. It isn’t a cure but it can help.
Do you know if diatomaceous earth should be rubbed on geese like you do with chickens when you treat them with it.
