kissinuk Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Emptied the eglu tray last night and there were quite a few fleas on it jumping around. I'm presuming that there are also some on my chickens (but haven't checked yet). Anyone have any tips for getting rid of them? I have red mite powder but don't know if that works on fleas too (the stuff sold at Omlet that smells of aniseed. Any help gratefully received.

Troy Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I believe chicken fleas are calles sticktight fleas and are the smallest that we can see with the naked eye. I think they must be removed with a topical application called Pyrethrin?? Check with a poultry keeper. Can you see them around the head and neck feathers? They like to attach themselves to the skin of a hen and are very difficult to remove. Hope this helps Troy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
