Nimble

One of the things I recall about Guyanese Christmas is "nimble". A kind of mite that infests setting fowls. They were prevalent in December. I remember an enlightening discussion about it. I was vacationing at my aunt's home and I was helping my cousin to tend to the fowls and collect the eggs. I asked her why hens got nimble only at Christmas time. She said: "Dem nah want abee mek Crismus cake wid dem egg, suh dem ah friken abee wid dem nimble dese." Was she right?

nimble was like grass louse right?

Different color. Same size. Faster than grass louse. In other words, more nimble than grass louse.
