Life in the Backwoods
In the Brooder
We put a trail camera in our coop last and just looked at the photos. They moved around every 5-6 minutes for hours. Only once did they settle down and stay in one place for about an hour. Is this normal? Or do they have bugs or something keeping them up. I’m paranoid about lice and mites. They are just about 17 wks old. They have been in this coop for about a month. It is a brand new coop. No chickens have ever been in it. I checked them for lice/mites/nits a few days ago and didn’t see anything but I’m new to chickens. They do have quite a few new feathers coming in but are losing feathers too.
