Well, my first chickens are doing well. 18 pullets and one cockeral doing his best to imitate a rooster. His first attempts to crow sounded like a broken kazoo. After a week he's getting better and sounds like a properly working kazoo. They're slightly over 3 months old, and I'm noticing flies gathering round the coop. I use straw in the coop, clean it out weekly, and rake all the droppings I see on the ground. Still there are flies. Should I be concerned? Any suggestions for controlling them? Thanks in advance.
