Clipper 207 Posted June 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 i noticed red mites on the white chick , what do i do now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Meroman 105 Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 First replace the nest pan, get a handful of moss and fashion out a nest in the new nest pan with a light bulb, then get an anti mite spray and treat the parents & chicks with it. Clean out all your cages and spray them with a good anti mite treatment including perches and every nook & cranny in the cages. This should do the job but do it immediately because mite can suck the life out of chicks in a very short time. Obviously the nest is infested which may force the hen to stop sitting the chicks at night time which results in the chicks chilling and dying but these chicks may be old enough to hold body heat because they are nearly feathered up. Good Luck with it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
