We have been getting so many questions about mites and chickens that we did a show to help answer your questions on mites specifically.
We talk about the different types of mites, ie. roost mites, feather mites, and scaly leg mites and how the treatment for each is different.
Matt, a former exterminator, shows how to identify the specific mite, and how best to treat it. We compare food-safe diatomaceous earth and Elector PSP premise spray.
We answer your questions live on all things chickens and coops. Matt also shows some samples of new nesting material we are looking to try out.
We hope to do some research and see if we can bring this product to our Flock Shop.
