Meet Porkie 🐷

Mites & lice are one of the most frustrating battles when raising chickens… and unfortunately, for many of us, it’s a yearly one. 🐓🪳

A clean coop isn’t just about appearance — it directly impacts the health of your flock. Parasites can quickly take over bedding, roosts, nesting boxes, and even weaken your chickens if left untreated.

What helps us fight back:
• Regular deep cleaning & replacing bedding
• Scrubbing roosts, nesting boxes & cracks
• Providing dust baths year-round
• Poultry dust / permethrin treatments when needed
• Treating BOTH the birds and the coop
• Routine flock checks for early signs of mites or lice

Prevention is easier than infestation control, but even well-kept coops can still get mites. Don’t feel discouraged if you’re dealing with it too — staying consistent is key.

Healthy coop = healthier chickens. 🤍
