Signs to look for when mites may be a problem. Egg production will start to go down as the chickens must replace the lost blood taken by the mites. They have less energy to produce eggs. The chickens will start to peck each other where they see the infestation on the chickens, this is usually at the base of the birds tail feathers. If they are doing this the problem is getting serious. Keep a watch out for any pecking behavior and bald, bloody patches appearing on your flock.

They look like someone started ripping all the feathers of their back. Kind of gross.
