The title says it all y'all! My chickens are being plagued with biting midges aka no see ums. I've never seen anything like it in my life. We have lived on our property for 5 years and NEVER had this before. Swarms of them rise from the grass and feast their little guts on my flock day and night. The chickens are so miserable they will not even come out of the coop they are so desperately trying to rid themselves of the gnats that are crawling in their faces and on their body. Does ANYONE have ANY ideas for helping get rid of or repel these little demons? I have 40+ chickens so rubbing vanilla on their faces daily wouldn't be practical.
