Thank you!!!!! That is extremely helpful good to know! Thankfully the coop is in the middle of a fenced off run that the cat cannot get into so it’s all good but I will be extra careful when transporting it to and from the barn and coop! Thank you so much!
Ok. Thank you! I scooped and swept the coop all out before I blew it, I just used the leaf blower for the leftovers and cob webs etc. I sprayed the entire coop and all the birds yesterday. I’m going out of town for over a week so unfortunately it will be a little over seven days 😬
Well it seems worse than I thought. There’s tons of little black bugs scuttling around in the coop. I don’t know what to do. 😭😭😭 I sprayed it down but then ran out of solution so I’m making more now

Here’s a few pictures of the little sucker. And another question, could this affect my dogs and cats? I have a barn cat that also comes in the house and a farm dog that does chores with me
Hey everyone, wondering if my flock has mites. I have 29 chickens and 12 ducks that live together. I have a nice big run and have a duck side that I have a big pool in and everything, and then a chicken side with dust baths and a few treat dispensing toys etc. they all live together in the same...
