freddie Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 No, and I don't want them, either!! Spent last year on a Mission to get rid of them.. So far, so good!! Try any enriched cage battery hen farmer, they are really struggling, as the mite are under the poo layer on the artificial grass in the pens, and the farmers can't get rid of them.

Chicken deficient Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Have you had a look round your local allotments? There tend to be some quite ramshackle chicken houses on the ones round our way, that look like they would be housing more red mite than chicken...!
