WW - There's another thread on this - Black Mites and Bubbly Breathing. Will contain all the info you need, I think.

I understand they are your pets, but why don't they lay eggs? I thought it happened pet or not, unless they are cockerels.

Winston they might well have, and you really do need to spray. Have a look at the other thread, and welcome to the Vine
