    Flies no more!! Found the perfect fly repellent.

    Quote: Now that is very interesting. That's probably why my coops don't smell like chicken poop at all. I use probably 4-5 trees in a 6X8 coop and as soon as they start to lose their strength...about 2-3 weeks...I hang another beside it. Eventually I take them down when they have lost all...

    Cool but scary. Looks like your birds are well-protected by that run though

    "Finishing" CX's by freeranging

    I've never done that, so don't know for sure, but I bet they'll be great-tasting. Maybe a little tough from all the exercise...

    Chop block

    That's what I do. If you put the nails at the very edge of the block, you can position a bucket underneath to catch the severed head as it falls

    Black soldier fly ?

    Hope this is the right section for this post- Could someone please post a pic of a BSF adult? I think I saw one at my compost bin, but not sure what they look like. Thanks!

    I am dumbstruck! How is this possible?

    Try using a small cage trap (rat or squirrel size). Works well for me
