Sunshine Flock
Crowing
Do any of you agree that I may be increasing my flock's exposure to mites by using leaves and pine needles as litter inside their coop? I'm not sure about this, but I've given it some thought. It does seem a mite population could boom and flourish inside an enclosed space.
Would that exposure be any worse than what they're exposed to outside, especially considering we're rural and leaves and pine needles are everywhere, including in their run?
