Long time no see! Life has bern flat out. And hence i don't have time to read nearly a thousand pages!
Hope everyone is well?
We are mite free! Woohoo but poor black ops and shadow are molting. So 2 eggs a day atm.
Just took some random pics thought I'd share. Apparently my phone doesn't...
@Teila i treated everything anyway. Rather over do it just in case.
The girls were not happy about it. And 1 can fly! Really high lol of course the ground was wet and i slipped and landed in poop. I guess they thought it was funny!
Well tried to upload a picture of me in my hazmat suit to combat mites but it wont let me.
Funnily enough have not seen 1 friggen mite since starting the task.
Rest assured I'm banished from the house! Let's hope i don't need to pee!
@ChristieB sorry to hear! Im a single mum too so if you need to vent feel free to message! Hooe you have a great support network! I don't have family where i live so its hard. But always look on the bright side!
Thank to those that gave me advice. Girls won't be free ranging till i can get in...
I have just concluded that it is mites on the chickens. Poor cat copped an earful all weekend. But i couldn't see anything until tonight after i lifted the broody up to go feed. Half hour later 1 was crawling on my phone so was easy to see with the light.
What do i need to get to kill them all...
I find them on my arm mostly. Think i had one near my ear. Freaked out it might be nits. Im gunna check the cat tonight cos he has been sleeping on my clean washing specifically the top im wearing (just realised lol)
Its quiet at work and thought maybe there would be a few pages to read here. Unfortunately only 1
So i think either the chickens have mites or the cat has fleas. Pics on google aren't helping me. I know what fleas look like but these seem to be smaller and only find them on me
Morning! Just doing my weekly check in.
my poor work mate got chicks from a school same time I got mine. They were 20 weeks in January. They are rhode island. Every week there were no eggs.
I hot a call from him saying son heard a cockle doodle do! Poor guy. 2 roosters! But can't believe...
Happy easter everyone! Haven't had time to post lately. My new job keeps me busy! I like busy!
Sooo the chicken who hatched the last chicks is broody once again! She is goin to be a regular broody by the looks of it. Question is do I want to give in?
We are on egg count down for the last...
