This was an experiment that showed positive results. We discovered our 3 hens had mites and wanted to treat them with natural substances and what we had on hand. Our chooks had recently been moved to a new run after being free range. Their new run had a thick leaf litter cover and no area for dust bathing which we believe contributed to the mites moving in. Also their bedding had not been changed for a while and so was conducive to building up a population for mites.

By clearing out and replacing bedding, using wood ash and dilute eucalyptus oil we were successfully able to treat them naturally without chemicals and using what we had at hand.
