Tools- one headlamp...
One flash light..
One crazed chicken mama...
My midnight mission-mite search. Nesting boxes examined...
All clear... Ten pink derrieres checked...all clear
As far as I can tell no night time mite feeding going on in here. Sorry from the intrusion ladies, your behavior has earned extra blueberries in your morning oatmeal. Sleep tight girls, don't let the bed bugs bite!
Love, one happy chicken mama....

Is it warm in there? Do the mite only come out at night? Like the freaks?
While at work today, a friend of mine said she would give me some of her hens. I can't tell you how excited I was to hear this.
But do I have to check butts on them?
Missine hen? very beautiful, when I love your blog!?!
*fantastic*

So very funny you crazy chicken mama!!
Julie, I *love* you - you are SO my kindred spirit! Do you KNOW how many stealth, nighttime, head-lamp missions I've performed around here?! And not just to the chicken coop, my friend, so just WAIT until your sweet farm adds new members! LOL
I'm so glad your girls and coop are MITE-FREE...
Carry on with your molting, then, girls!
With my headlamp hanging by the door, your chicken pal,

So glad it isn't mites! I've been dusting the coop occasionally with diatomaceous earth, and putting some in their feed too to prevent mites and worms. You might try that just as a preventative. They do look happy, and that is what counts -- if they were miserable it would be evident.
Good luck

And a "happy chicken mama" at Dog Trot makes us all happy Julie! Glad the girls don't have mights. Now YOU can sleep tight tonight!!
The girls all seem very happy even though they all had their feathers ruffled. Glad they are bug free.
Glad they don't have MITES not MIGHTS!! I really can spell, just can't get get it from my brain to the key board right. Too much driving yesterday :)
My word verification-extra. Extra what I wonder?
Glad those pretty girls are A-OK! You're such a great chicken mama :) -Tammy
I wouldn't even know what a mite looked like. Did you think mites were causing the bald bottoms? I had no idea you'd have to do body searches to keep your chickens healthy. Love the headlamp though. I seriously thought of getting one when I use to dremel my dogs nails so I would be able to see the quick better. Old eyes need better light.
look at your girls....love them..
and i loved the blue coverlet your headlamp was on....
the shakers and their rosemary biscuits...aaahhhhh...i would LOVE that...
my mom was a Shaker collector...when i was a kid at home..... our home was filled with Shaker furniture, baskets, boxes etc.
i love anything Shaker
love to the girls
i am still hoping for some

You're a MITEy dedicatated Chooky mama Julie! (-: Glad the girls are in fine fettle.
I want to be one happy chicken momma! Waiting for warmer weather to start my flock of 2 hens. I live in the city, so 2 is my limit.

We are going to raise chickens this spring. Didn't you had to "mite check". Do you do that every night:?
What breed or breeds do you have:?
