I also found a very similar idea on here! This is cut from Chirpy's Post.

Here is a cool idea but it seems like the blog is not active so I wonder if it worked in the long run? http://triptraphomestead.weebly.com/trip-trap-blog/how-to-keep-a-pygmy-goat-out-of-the-chicken-coop-101

We are building a coop for a friend and she has goats and chickens. Some of her hens are huge Brahmas so I am looking for a solution to keep the goats out of the coop. Specifically how to keep them from getting through the chicken door. I know that many people like me need pictures to get...

I would try putting the powder in a spray bottle with water and shake it real well. Then I would spray the whole coop especially where mites might like to hide. Shake the bottle often so that the powder doesn't settle on the bottom of the bottle. And I don't know if you can use ivermectin...

I called the company and I talked to a nice guy named Doug. He says that they don't have expiration dates on the powder. It was Prozap Permethrin Powder. I checked the can again this morning and it is CRAWLING with the little buggers.

I recently discovered that the chickens had mites...(itch itch). One of the broody hens had them on her, and then I checked the other chickens and found a few more. I looked all around the roosts and the nest boxes and couldn't find any of the mites but they were on the eggs! So I was very...

What I do to get broody hens is I leave wooden eggs or even plastic easter eggs in the nest boxes. Five or so in each box. Then just be patient for awhile. I have four broody hens right now. Also make sure that there isn't too much light shining on you nest boxes. My broody hens are a...

You'll know if she is broody because she will be kind of flattened out on her nest and she will growl, hiss, bleep, or usually make a strange sound that you haven't heard before by her. I have four broody hens right now and I've had a few in the past who have raised chicks for me. Depending on...
