Is your chicken coop crawling with red mites?
Are you sure?
Red mites create havoc in the feathered flock’s life. Due to this, they are the most feared parasites in a poultry farming community.
Red mites are easily the biggest problem that most new chicken farmers will face. The problem with a red mite infestation is that often there are no obvious signs until it is too late.
Red mites continue to be one of the most irritating things a chicken farmer will face. The reason they are such a big problem is that they only have a seven-day life cycle.
While chicken keeping is an entertaining and rewarding hobby and can also be adopted for commercial purposes, it is not a piece of cake. It makes you responsible for taking care of your flock; not only for providing them food, housing and protection, but also to ensure their health maintenance.
