Show Notes
Coming to you live from Creedmoor, NC is Video Chicken Live where we discuss and answer your questions about everything chickens and coops. Ask any question you want and Matt, Kristen and Ingrid will answer for you. We specialize in chickens and chicken coop construction.
This is the show you have been waiting for, the Big Bug Show. We tackle parasites and pests within your flock. Matt, who used to be an exterminator, explains that identifying the pest is crucial for any kind of remedy.
There are 5 common mites, for example, and each have their own life cycle. This is important to know to treat your flock because you must break the life cycle.
There are different types of lice, and then there's also mice, rats, and even snakes.
The take away is that prevention is the key.
Make sure your flock has access to dust baths because that's how they will keep most biting parasites at bay. Don't let mice, rats, or snakes a reason to come to your coop. Maintain a healthy flock by not overcrowding your coop, a good chicken to coop ratio is important for a less stressful environment.
Plus we answer viewer questions.
