Cats and Chickens Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 Its my birthday today but usual Saturday routine. Cleaning out my chickens. Horrified to discover red mite on the end of the roosting bar. Have kept chickens for only 11 months so this is my first experience with red mite. Spent most of the day dismantling coop cleaning and spraying. Have used poultry shield and dusted everything with diatom. Just hope I have got it before it gets a hold. Intend to be re spray in a day or two. Its a wooden hen house so there are lots of crevices. Any advice is welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
