Flies are more than a nuisance in your chicken run. They carry disease and spread bacteria which can lead to E. Coli, Salmonella, Listeria, New Castle Disease, Dysentery and other germs that are harmful to both your family and your flock. Eating the resulting maggots in wet feed can also lead to botulism in your flock. past winter was so mild that the flies have returned in droves this spring. They are drawn to moisture and puddles, wet bedding, damp feed and chicken poop.
I tried a few different ways to repel the flies, but this DIY Fly Catcher is easy to make, effective and an inexpensive way to rid your chicken run of flies.
