I went into the stable lastnight with the torch,walls + perch were clear of red mite. Stable is cleaned regular and pressure washed with a defra recommended disinfectant.I have checked the birds head to toe in daylight + after dark and I have not found anything Will get my mrs to check them later,maybe she can see better than me lol
Do they have access to poultry grit/calcium? Feathers are a source of calcium.
Think they're on 'growers' pellets, Landroverroy.Couldn't you let them out into the paddock now? Might get them out of the habit and they'd have access to extra protein catching bugs etc if that were the problem.
