I think that the mites love the heat and really multiply in that environment. I read that some chicken keeper whitewash their chicken coops once in a while. <br /><br />It nice to know that you have succeeded in getting your chicken happy again.<br /><br />It's fun to see how fast the trees grows from seeds. You will have plenty of shade trees to hold the moisture in the ground as soon as they are big enough. JBJuliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03423754263165266554noreply@blogger.com
