Flies

[cherpycherpycheepcheep]

I have noticed lots of little black flies in the coop. Any advice?????

Try cleaning away any chicken poop from the coop and putting fresh bedding down. You might want to try some sort of fly repellent as well.

I use a Solar Fly trap (no pesticides or chemicals just a non-toxic, foul smelling fly bait), and I also use a gnat-size wasp that eats fly larvae.
