I worry if the chickens eat the dead flies will it hurt them so I don't use fly sprays and just work hard at keeping it clean to keep the flies down but sometimes especially after it rains it is impossible.

it's a conspiracy they want to stay 

You just might be onto something. Hmmmm..

Carcar you could try putting an upside down cardboard box with a hole cut out big enough for only the littles to run in. Flat rocks on top to keep it from being flipped over by the bigger ones. I saw it somewhere for "enrichment" on a trial based broiler farm deal but it might work for protection until they are a bit bigger. You'd have to make sure the littles are coming out to eat and drink though.

Thanks! I usually do this actually, but don't in this coop.. It's even the little ones popping each other though. Noticed that last night watching them. Just during feeding frenzies.
