Red Mites
Red mites are a hidden menace in chicken coops.

These tiny parasites hide in cracks by day and feed on your hens at night, causing stress, irritation, anemia, and a drop in egg production. Left untreated, infestations can quickly get out of control, especially in warm and humid weather.
Signs to watch for:
• Pale combs
• Restless hens
• Reduced laying
• Tiny red/grey specks near perches
The good news? Early treatment makes a huge difference.
