We have had several lots of chickens, but eventually they seem to get lice. We clear it by spraying the inside of the house (re-housing chickens first of course), and dusting the chickens.
However, there are a lot of other chickens around us and they soon get re-infected.
The problem is I am allergic to the mite bites and come up in large, red, very ichy weals which last 2 weeks (meaning sleepless nights too).
Can anyone suggest;-
1. a way to keep the chickens mite free and/or
2. something to counteract the allergic reaction to the bites ?
I would really like some more chickens.
