Problems with stick tight fleas

[chickenzoo]

Been battling problems with stick tight fleas at the new farm......very bad.....even my guinea have them.....but I noticed out of all my chickens, the only chickens on the ground that do not have any on them are my two Turkens.
So the chickens with the least amount of feathers have No fleas...which are fleas that only like to attach to bear skin. I wish I knew what they had that the fleas didn't like...... Id give it to everyone.....lol

I have no experience with those fleas but I hope you can find some ideas in these links if needed!

Thank you....I've tried all kinds of stuff.....
Dusting.....spraying....dipping..... Swat. .....frontline...... Everything....and they keep coming back. I am going to raise all my LF pens up off the ground and have them on wooden slate floors till I can.come up with something. Hoping when I can turn 16 acres to pasture the fleas will leave.

this thread mentions losing toes from predators - nice pen though
