red mites ???
« on: August 23, 2012, 02:59 »

hello
ive only had my two hens for about twelve months now everthing was going fine till i went to collect  the eggs yeasterday and saw some tiny bugs the size of a pin head on them. I gave the coop a good clean out with poultry shield and noticed red mites in a few of the cracks treated this with diatom. Apart from the red mites iam bothered what the little white bugs are they seem to get on my hands and iam bothered about getting them in the house.Any help much appreciated.
thankyou chris

This thread has photos of red mites before and after feeding.

This thread has other photos of external parasites.
Staffies are softer than you think.

Anyone tried predatory mites to control red mites?
