Tea tree is very soothing.

Make sure you have checked all over and treated for lice and mites.

They'll be fine with a bit of tlc before long

Someone will be along soon but you need to dust them with red mite powder, their feather's will grow back very soon now you have rescued them. Auntie has a link I'm sure. Good Luck Justin

Red mite. The one thing they're likely to bring with them is Red Mite, from BHWT website.

Keep them away from any other chooks you got and treat the hens & living quarters with red mite powder.
