The chickens seem to be relatively free of red mite all of a sudden -
don't
know if there was a cold snap that wiped them out, or what, but I haven't
(touch wood) seen one for over a week, I think ... and even better, we got
5
eggs today, which means one of the bantams has started laying again!
Hurrah. (one of them was very pale looking last week, presumably due to
the
mites nibbling on her)

What are you using against red mite?
