If you’ve been noticing your hens scratching more than usual or losing feathers in patches, you’re not alone. Thanks to a mild winter and early warm spells, mite season is already underway—weeks ahead of schedule in many areas.
Mites may be small, but they can cause big problems for your flock. From skin irritation and feather loss to anemia and stress, these tiny parasites thrive in coops, nesting boxes, and even on your chickens themselves. And once they settle in, they can be very hard to get rid of.
What Chicken Mites Can Do to Your Flock
Chicken mites feed on blood, and heavy infestations can lead to:
- Decreased egg production
- Pale combs and wattles
- Feather pecking and aggressive behavior
- Even death in severe cases
And it’s not just about your chickens—mites can spread through clothing, equipment, and other animals, putting your entire backyard setup at risk.
Why Mite Season Is Arriving Early
Typically, mite infestations ramp up in late spring and summer. But this year, warmer temps and higher humidity have triggered early breeding cycles. That means mites are already active and multiplying—right now.
Waiting until you see mites might already be too late.
