Well, to update on this, I think my northern fowl mite source must be rodents - my bet is on mice now. My roo that was having trouble before has been fine since mid-Sept and shows no signs of any other issues - and I also haven't let him go anywhere near where he went when he picked them up...

That was actually one of the things that helped me ID my grain/mold mites last year! All I could get was a picture of the nasty swarms/piles they sometimes form on damp wood. My ability to take pics of tiny things is just gabage most of the time. My eyes are better than what my phone picks up...

I didn't save it, so no. My attempts to take photos of adult grain mites were relatively pointless in the past when people asked for photos of those, and they are only slightly smaller, so I kind of doubt a phone photo of a northern fowl mite will look like anything more than a tiny, blurry dark...

Well speak of the devil, I may not have found a live mite mon my dog, but I did find a dead adult one stuck in the fur on her leg. Those are definitely what's getting her even if they die right after. Unfortunately she got bitten again after visiting a different area of the property...so I've...

I have a rooster that recently got northern fowl mites; I am rigorous with physical inspections including butt inspections every 1-2 days on all my birds, so I caught it probably as fast as was reasonably possible and am treating aggressively with permethrin, and it hasn't spread to other birds...
