I like a product called Quick Strike. Best fly abatement strip I have ever bought. We use it in the horse barn as well.

Food grade diametaceous earth(can't spell it) it is white powder that kills the bugs some people like some people don't
I think in moderation it will not harm the chickens only the bugs it is an organic bug killer

DE is great for controling odor and thus keeping the fly's at bay, works very well, all natural food grade is good for all types of control of parasites as well.
