one of my roosters is picking at the feathers on his neck. I don't see any mites. they are free ranging when I am home, in their coop and run when I am at work. they sleep inside the house at night in their own room. They roost on the
arm chairs of my desk chair with newspapers at the bottom to catch their poop, which I throw away in the morning and put down fresh newspaper for them again at night. They have frequent dirt baths in their run or when free ranging. I spread DE in their coop and run about every month or so.
