- We are looking for a bird for our family. It's very much like we are pregnant and waiting for the day the new addition comes to the family!
I'm embarrassed to even post this, but at this point it's just in case.
Last week we realized our chickens have feather mites. We are treating them, and not handling them. But we are constantly talking about "what if" Rico gets them. I've heard they are easily transferred before.
I'd rather be prepared, and know what to do. Or maybe even do a treatment on him, just in case.
What are the symptoms?
Would you treat as a precautionary measure?
What are the treatments?
And finally how easily transferred is mites, and other things our chickens may get in the future?
