Well I spent all day today blitzing the coop against red mite and I mean blitzing,, 5 hrs....but was getting big grief from Daisy who wanted in the coop while it was being cleaned.
She is a bit feisty to say the least..
Anyway, after cleaning but just prior to setting the boxes I went to...
Well this is the first year I have had trouble with mites....I hate them...make my skin crawl after being in the coop....
The coop is one of those old fashioned large coops with 6 nesting boxes hanging off each side, and the whole thing on 4 large spoke cast iron wheels. Must be 25 years old...
