Hey! Help! Two days ago we noticed a few mites on our broody hen. She and her eggs are separated from the flock, but in just two days the mites are everywhere! What can I do that will be safe for the hen and eggs? I’ve got another “broody hotel” I can move her in, but should I wash her, wash the eggs while transitioning locations? This is our first (and perhaps last) experience with a broody hen. I just want to do right by the momma and babies. I’ve got pyrethrum spray, permethrin dust, diatomaceous earth, and marigolds. Any advice will be welcome! Thank you!!
