We just got a black silkie bantam and a pullet. I checked out the pullet, she seems to be fine but I'm still looking for those itty bitty mites.
When I checked the hen... Oh boy, the mites have really gotten to her
She has that problem with her feet, you know that's caused by scarly mites and her scales are upward. There a way to fix that or treat it?
I checked out her feathers and skin and theres tiny little bugs on her. Mites I would guess. I saw an orange bug, but i smooshed it.
Her claws need to be trimmed. And so does her beak I think... The tips of her beak are growing crooked. Cross beak kinda except just
the tips. Growing over eachother, just crookedly.
Tips and help would be highly appreciated.
(we are getting 7 dust for the chickens because of the little bugs on the silkie hen)
