My coops are 30 plus years old and were built by previous owners using wood from an old house. I recently had to reroof both coops. In the beginning I noticed red mites at night on drop board but was diligent in getting rid of them. Now I don't have any problems but keep a watchful eye and use prevention measures. My issue is with termites in some areas and have not sprayed for fear it might harm my hens. Plus feel plastic is easier to clean and disinfect. Maybe if the wood had been treated and new when coops were built I'd feel different.Do you have a lot of problems with mites in your wood coop? Is the wood coop super difficult to clean? Thanks!
