You might be able to get a chicken from Ebaay - they used to do one, I got one off the auction site a few years ago. >eas2<

Hi everyone - not been on for a while.

On the usual Saturday morning scrub down, pulled the tray out and it was totally infested with red mite - the whole thing was moving! OMG. Chickens dowsed in Smite. Poor CopCop was absolutely teeming with them as well as going through a moult, the poor thing.

Emergency coop (Solway) bought, chickens moved, bedding and wooden coop burnt!

The bl***y things were crawling up BF's arms as he carried the tray off. Clothes stripped off outside and straight into the washing machine and hot shower! Makes me itch just writing about it.

When we got to Hens4pets - everyone they had in on Saturday was telling the same story! Total expense £395 on new coop and Heras fencing.

Wow the walk in run look like council barriers? I would love some of those (council or not) to hold back nextdoors wilderness could I ask where I could get some?
I know a lot of people don't like using it but I give my girls two cat doses of frontline twice a year and they keep bug free even when the mite gets in the cottage. This year I have put a whole bottle of diatom earth over every bit of wood and fingers crossed it seems to be working a treat.
