just cleaned my girls coop out. And it had tiny black flys inside it. There was hundreds of them. Discinfected it all and put some mite and lice stuff down. Anyone else had this problem?

Do they look like tiny black dots? If so they are probably Thunder bugs, there have been thousands around today. When crops are cut in fields they get disturbed and swarm, you will probably find them all over everything. They're particularly attracted to white things (they covered me today in a white t-shirt, which was awful!)
They've been landing on my chickens and they've just been eating them, they die quite quickly and will disappear as quickly as they came. But for the next few days no matter how many times you clear them away you will find they quickly return again, especially if there's no rain to wash them away.

possibly could be that. I noticed them yesterday when i went to get my eggs then when i started moving the newspaper around to ckean them today there was hundreds in there. Dont know if its just me but im paranoid people will think i dont clean them out and there dirty.

Thrips are a real pain and get everywhere but there is little you can do about them. I got covered in them yesterday as well and boy do they make you itch!

I had a load of little flys in my coop the other day. I cleaned them out and sprayed with Poultry Shiield this killed them all.
