I found these bugs 2 days ago in my coop. Have no idea what they are, if they are harmful, or how to get rid of them.
Looks like they have 6 legs, antae, they fly, are a brownish color with a slight red tint, and about the size of a poppy seed.
I've checked the flock, but there are no signs of the bugs on them. Clean skin under wings and vent. They are inside and outside of the coop. They haven't overwhelmed the coop, but I don't want to give them the chance.
Its June and I'm in northern Texas, if that can make a difference.
