Chickens.. Ectoparasites

“CHICKENS...Ectoparasites

The control of red mites and other ectoparasites, worms and fungi”,
88 pages, hardcover, with over 200 photos and images!

Many people give advice based on their best knowledge, which can mislead people who are looking for a good control method.
When it comes to combating red mites and other ectoparasites, some swear by this, others by that.
And... is there an adequate control method?
And... how dangerous are the pesticides used for chickens?
Or... for us?
What you see can be a problem... but what you don't see can be an even bigger problem!
This was the reason for the authors to create this book.

Unfortunately, (still) too many are not aware of what ectoparasites (can) cause to their chickens!
Ectoparasites such as mites (blood lice and Northern bird mites), mosquitoes and flies are just as much of a danger to chickens as viral or bacterial infections.
The control of ectoparasites is not only a major problem for people who start keeping chickens, but also for people who have had chickens for some time.
No chicken lover is spared!
The most dangerous ectoparasites are the red bird mite and the Northern bird mite.
Red mite in particular is a silent killer!
Is your cage free of red mites? Forget it!
If you don't think you have red mites, you haven't found them yet!
It is therefore important to keep the problem manageable.
Thousands of questions appear on the internet about how best to combat those brats, questions full of despair and also emotions.

All ectoparasites that can affect chickens have been listed, with the control methods and the resources available and what they contain.
Information with which a chicken farmer can responsibly deal with problems with ectoparasites!
Although they are not ectoparasites, attention has also been paid to infestation with roundworms and tapeworms, the types of worms and fungal infections such as Favus, and their control.
This is truly another book in this series for every chicken lover!
No more lengthy searches on the internet to find the right answer to the question of how best to combat ectoparasites or worms or fungi in chickens.
Highly recommended again!
