A few weeks ago my hens began having bald spots. I removed my rooster because I thought they just needed a break. It still didn't get better so I moved some hens around too. Last night I discovered mites or lice..some kind of bug on a week old silkie chick. I plan to remove all bedding, clean the coop with dawn and water and bleach, spray it with this poultry mite spray I found at TSC then mix in poultry dust with their clean bedding. Tonight I will dust the big birds with poultry dust. In another pen I have week old chicks and their moms. Should I just bath them with dawn instead of dusting them? Also can I dust my 8 week old chicks or no? I'm trying to keep it from getting out of control
