I have a very old roo that has been having a rough moult and I found yesterday that he had bunches of red mite egg nests on his feathers near the skin and tons of red mites on him. I just wanted to remind everyone to check your chickens for red mites especially if you see they are having a hard, long moult. I cut out the mite nests and dusted him well. Hopefully he will start feeling better soon.
