Protein for chickens with severe feather loss?

[BabyGotQuack]

Have you run a white paper towel along the underside of the roost about an hour after dark?

Mites that have not fed on the birds yet will be tiny grey smears and full mites will be red smears. The mites are unbelievably tiny...much smaller than a pin head.

I haven’t, someone else suggested the same thing so I’ll give it a try tonight. Thank you!

Definitely do that check. Mites are (at least for me) to hard to see with the naked eye.
