My chickens are on a farm with stables nearby. They are always in their coops and runs unless I am cleaning them out. They then get to play out on a grassy bit where the horse boxes are.
One of the horsey people is demanding I get rid of my chickens as she claims her horse has red mites from them.
They have never been in contact with the horses. There is a 3 foot brick wall and a 6 foot courtyard between the chickens and the horses.
Is she right or is it an excuse because of the crowing? I have 8 coops; each with a cockerel and up to 4 hens each.
