Very helpful. Lots of good details to help understand the internal process of the egg formation from start to lay. We had a Brahma that we thought was egg bound but it turned out to be a different issue. The vet couldn’t say for sure as they couldn’t see her in person and diagnosed over the...

I’m not sure how to go about reaching out to you so I’m sorry if I’m doing this wrong. I have the same little red mites in my coop. Just a few I can spot and none on my birds that I can see. But I want to eliminate them before it grows into a huge problem. I’ve been sprinting DE in the coop and...
