fluffypigs Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Hi all, I have an ill chicken (not foraging just sitting there looking miserable, runny poo, not eating, pale) and on inspection I have found tiny white dots running over her skin. Is it Northern Fowl mite? Descriptions of this mite say that they are brown but these appear to be white (I can baely see them, but near her vent where the skin is pink I can just see them moving. Could it be any other mite? Should I isolate her? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 It doesnt sound like NFM but is obviously some sort of pest I would treat them all with a powder or spray and also treat the coop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 I agree, NFM are tiny dark grey or black dots. Nuke 'em with a spray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
