Title: mites and lice
Post by: mentalmilly on May 13, 2013, 06:49:03 pm

I was wondering if ducks can get the mites and lice that chickens have?   Can they get them off the chickens if they live in the same area or hut?  Does not seem to have the info on the web, or l am looking in the wrong place.
