Mites in the chicken coop i received an email from jen, asking about a mite infestation in her chicken coop, and if i knew any non-chemical remedies. we've never had a mite problem (knock on wood). i do have some old poultry reference books, so i did some research for her. i thought i'd post my reply:.

There are many different varieties of mites and lice but no matter what variety you’ve got on your hands, the treatment is the same. so read on! so read on! the most trusted chicken coop supplier in australia.
