Last night I went to put my two pekins to bed when I noticed my arm was itchy... yuk! - they're tiny tiny little black mite. I've thoroughly cleaned out the coop, and covered it and the two birds in a powder said to get rid of mite (which was suitable for putting on the chickens!). Anyone got any other suggestions on how to get rid of the disgusting things? - any particular products or methods?
Also, I was reading this morning that fruit trees can get red mite- my patio plum tree, situated close to the chicken house, is looking really ill - could the two be related?
