I didn't know my birds had red mite til I had the blighters running up my arm whilst I was plucking them - so they do stay on the bird. we got infected by some ex-commercial hens we rescued, even though I had powdered them on arrival. it took a long time to eradicate them.
id just be honest when rehoming them.

Had that too. Horrible but I'm sure also not nice for the birds. I get around it by scalding before plucking now.
