Chicken picking at feet

[MadMitch]

Do chickens get bothered by midges?

We are plagued by them at the moment and I could here the girls pecking at them in the cube when I went to lock them up. Is there is anything you can put in the cube/run to get rid of them?

Cironella oil should help but mine love trying to catch them so they can eat them

[Egluntyne]

Yes, mine jump up and snap at them.
