Thought I'd share this amusing tale with you. We discovered red mite in our chicken house so Bert decided to treat it with red mite powder (one of those big tubs). He shut all the girls in the house so they could also have a bit of a dusting, but while he was happily shaking away the lid came off the tub He got covered and all the chooks turned white - even the black ones It's a shame I wasn't there to see it but I could smell the powder as soon as I got out of the car. At least Bert wont get red mite now.
