Mites

[Karenmchick mama]

Our sick chicken got mites. We cleaned out the sick pen and covered everything with ash and de. We need more information on how to get rid of them please!

Sweep up the DE and ash, it's not effective and can give you and your birds respiratory issues.
What type of mites, can you see them?
Permethrine or elector psp is good for mites.

They are little black mites. She didn’t have them on her vent yesterday but did today. She was resting in the sick pen after an impacted crop, so we took her out every day to clean her and check her out. That’s when I found them.
