I have about 50 chickens in a 12 x 12 coop. ( I know I know keep reading) I'll eventually eat that number down to about 25. The problem is I NEVER planned to keep them in the coop 24-7. They have access to a 2500 square foot run all day. But due to a serious buffalo gnat problem they refuse to leave the coop. As you can imagine they are getting tired of looking at each other. I don't know what to do. I've tried shooing them out, only to have them swarmed by gnats. If I leave the pop door open they RUN back in after only a few minutes, snorting, scratching and shaking their heads.
Is there something I can do to keep them entertained? Maybe a big screen playing Chicken little?
Oh and I've lived in Iowa long enough (and have dealt with these gnats every spring) to know there is nothing that can be done to get rid of the gnats. It's just the price you pay to live in a utopia like Iowa
