Fleas!!!

[alln7220]

My chickens have fleas what do i do about this? Every time I go into their pen they jump all over me. How do I get rid of them?

has anyone had this problem?

Try DE... I use it to control fleas in the house...
Just sprinkle it in the coop.

Most likely they have lice/mites, not fleas. They are a common problem, and come from wild birds. Sevin garden dust or "poultry dust" from the feed store will work.
