[RC] Chickens for fly control - sherman

I'n not a vet, however, I have read that birds & their droppings should be kept away from the horse's living area & feed. Unfortunately, it was a year or so ago, & I can't remember the publication. May have been a John Lyons newsletter. I used the fly predators this year & it made a big dent in the fly population..

Subject: [RC]   Chickens for fly control


There was an interesting article regarding chickens & their possible tie-in
with respiratory disease in horses.  Since we moved, we have not had time to
build a chicken house & I am now rethinking the whole idea.

Any input from vets?
