I put out fly traps. The kind the fly goes into not the strips. Also keeping poo levels low and applying fresh bedding can help as well. One more thing that my family always did was to fill ziplock bags halfway with water and hang them around. Simulated rain or something :D
I have RIRs, gold laced wyndottes, and leghorns. That’s is Also the dominance order. I was just curious if certain breeds are just naturally higher in the pecking order than others? Has anyone ever seen a guide or chart on this also ? My cuckoo maran roo is top though but just barely.
