Hello chicken keepers!
Summer is the prime time of the year for mites, lice and other nasties to cause problems for your poultry. We are getting a lot of questions on Live Chat and the Facebook page from concerned chook keepers about these pesky parasites. I know first-hand that they can be a pain in the fluffy bum to get rid of once they make your chicken coop home, so let’s not give them the chance!
My Mother Hen Tips for pest and parasite prevention this weekend are:
It’s always a good idea to get up close and personal with your ladies to make sure they are healthy and happy. To check for pests - look under the wings, around the vent (where the egg comes out) and on the scales of their feet. Poultry pests and parasites are a very common issue - so if your chickens are showing symptoms - don't panic! Just follow the helpful advice in our quick fire guide to beating the bugs here.
