Oh dear, red spider mites are awful things. My neighbour keeps hens,
free range, commercially. She has two sets of hen houses and each
year she rotates her stock so that 1 set is left unoccupied for a
year. She seeems to have little trouble with mites etc. I suppose
this might be a bit difficult for private use. Thankfully my hens
remained mite free.

The only hen that might suffer from red spider mite is a fat one :-)

More seriously, red spider mite is a plant parasite; fowl mites
are different.
