Hi!
I understand a chicken coop provides a great attraction for bugs (ahem...all the poop) but it's summer now and it's hot and mosquitos and small flying bugs/gnats are miserable! I'm just wondering if there are ways to lessen or help to repel all these bugs from the coop? Or if they don't really bother the chickens? I've also noticed ants in the coop and that doesn't seem like a good place for them I'm not sure if chickens really get annoyed with bugs but I do know mosquitos can carry diseases. Any advice would be great! Thanks!
