FED MITE

摘要

Last spring I was sat round the kitchen table when a family member asked if I'd like a poultry house they'd purchased only a couple of years previously for ￡350. It was a smart one with attached run - and I could have it delivered for ￡50. They haddecided that keeping a few hens wasn't for them so no longer had use for it. I knew the brand name well, but had never been able to afford such luxurious housing, so was duly excited... that was until my heart sank a little and I asked the question thatany experienced poultry keeper should ask: "Has it ever had red mite?" The response was 'yes' but I was assured that the necessary treatment had been effective.
