I'd like to know an easy way to keep mosquitoes out of a coop & a run. I think it would be possible to bar as much of the openings as possible, but very difficult to cover every opening through which a tiny mosquito could get into a coop. Covering an entire run would be extremely difficult.
I also live in swampy South Florida, aka Mosquito Central. Sure, the skeeters get to the birds, but the Fowl Pox usually only affects the young stock since the older birds have already caught it, fought it off, and built up their own immunity to it. They may look bad for a week or two, but then it's over.
