hi all, any help would be so appreciated! (Two separate issues)
1. SCALY MITES: been trying to catch them and treat everyone… 2 are worse than the others, others seem perfectly well. Tried to do a foot bath, clean coop w vinegar mixture, sprinkled 1st Sat Lime then slather Vaseline or coconut oil a few times. How long and often should I continue each of these steps, and on every one? (One is impossible to catch and only did her once).
2. My 3 yo Silkie didn’t lay eggs for about a week, then laid a weirdly shaped egg with calcium deposits and blood on it, then laid a soft shell egg after that. Does this seem like a “normal” glitch in the system or should I be worried? Obviously we are going through scaly mites and I had separated the 3 feathered leg girls for a few days since they seemed worse, they are all back together now.
Thanks so much!!
