    sudden death****

    I guess that means we should check our entire flock? Any tips about what to be poking for when checking for mites?

    Scaly leg mites?

    Okay! Our other Silkie rooster doesn’t seem to have scales like this though. They were from the same shipment and hatchery.

    Scaly leg mites?

    Was wondering if this is scaly leg mite or not? I noticed it about a couple weeks ago, but it doesn’t look like any others of my flock has it.
