If chickens see ticks, they will most likely eat them. Dust bathing pretty much takes care of a lot of the bugs on chickens. I personally, wouldn't worry about it. ;)
Proboly
yes
No, they would not.
Birds and chickens eat ticks.
Guinea fowl are well known for the amount of wood ticks they eat. My friend has 25 of them and they would rather have wood ticks and other bugs than the wild birdseed that is provided for them.
I live in Kentucky on lake Barkley and we have alot of ticks but as soon as the toad and frog babies start to come out of the lake and ponds the ticks disapear and fast. So the baby frogs and toads are what eat the Ticks around here. Mike
Mainly Ticks But also Oxpeckers... best answer(do some reasearch) :)
No, We have picked paralysis ticks off our free range chickens & apart from some swelling, they have not shown any adverse affects from them at all. We have only ever seen ticks on their face where there are no feathers.
Chickens have external parasites like mites, lice, chiggers, foul ticks, etc. I don't know about fleas.
wood ticks can not jump or fly. they can only crawl places
Foxes do eat chickens, given the chance.Yes
Chickens eat grians,some wheats and corn.
Occasionally. Mostly their diet consists of insects, but some of the larger species eat small rodents, fish, birds, lizards and frogs.
the clocks eat ticks (and also tocks) lol :) ;)
