hi... this is the first warm season i'll have my flock up in the california high desert. my dogs have had stick tight fleas for the last two summers but it's easy to control on them as they only attach to the ears and can be picked off. well, i saw the first on my dogs tonight which means i'm sure they will get on my chickens! i know they will attach themselves around the eyes of the chickens. does anyone have any organic methods of ridding and controlling stick tights in the flock? i am opposed to using sevin or dipping my chickens in a chemical dip. i have heard that DE is not very effective. i can't imagine there is not a remedy somewhere? any thoughts based on your experience would be welcome!
thanks.
