My poor silkie hen died last night from blood lose due to being attacked by gnats.
My rooster is ok at the moment but the gnats get under their fluff and just chew them to death. he got a bath the other day for mites and she was gonna get one but then she started laying and i didnt want chemicals on her. i feel so bad. i want out to check on them and she was covered with them. so we ran her inside and was spraying her with water trying to get them off her when she had a seizure and died. i cried all night. i love that bird. but now shes in my rose graden.
my other birds need help now. the gnats are so bad that we can't be outside at night. what can i do?? i dont want to lose anymore birds. plus i have her two eggs that i dont have a way to hatch. ugh what a bad day.
any suggestions would be great. and i have bantams that need new homes now that i cant keep birds in the barn cause of the bugs.
please help!!!
