No, humans cannot catch scabies from hens. Scabies is caused by a specific mite (Sarcoptes scabiei) that infests humans and is not the same as the mites that affect birds. While hens can carry other types of mites, these are not transmissible to humans. Therefore, the risk of contracting scabies from hens is nonexistent.
