Hi! I recently had a chicken mite infestation in my coop. So far, none of the chickens have mites on them, or seem to be irritated. I have sprayed them with pet bird mite and lice protector, and was planning to dust them as well. I have no idea of how to set up a dusting station, and was wondering if you all could help out. Any suggestions, pictures, and advice would be much appreciated!

Not sure how many you have to dust, but something that works for me is when I let them out in the mornings I stand out side the coop door and dust them as they come out the door.. If anybody gets missed I just dust them as they are pecking their morning scratch... depending on how much you need to get on them.. I use a wire strainer or flour sifter to dispense.. It simple and none of the hens get upset so there is no dust clouds from flapping wings :)

Im sure theres lots of other ways to do this so I look forward to seeing others comments too :)
