Poor Onyx is not feeling well again. Her backside was pulsing when I got a closer look. Her pattern now seems to be one egg a week, with a few days of malady in between, then bouncing back. Not sure what to do for her. Any suggestions? She is difficult to catch, let alone try to get any...

Welcome back!

Can I have some, too? There is almost nothing like it!, well except for fresh baby peas straight from the pod. Except for the worms. Lucky kids!

Day before yesterday the girls batted 1000. 6 eggs, 6 hens. Even Onyx laid one. She seems to be a once a week girl for now, until she fully recovers from the vampires, which no longer seem to be present. Yay! The permethrin and tearing off the panels has worked. How is everyone? and if you are...

Yup, even if the guy is the best eye candy, but has a 💩 personality, that would be a hard no.

Back when they were allowed run of the yard, my son got them trained to go to the vines Before I knew it, they were flying up to any they could reach on the horizontal ones they could perch on. Little stinkers. They don't like bananas.

This time a leghorn pullet was hanging in the same spot in the netting. Not moving, I thought the worst, but she was alive. DH helped get her unstuck. I took that area of netting away. I think they wanted to get up in the tree, and got stuck coming down. She just had a couple abrasions, one...

They will eat any grape, any size. No cutting necessary.

I've never seen cats with such spots. Cute as ever!

Come up this way for cool, wet, green, or go see @Shetland lover

Wet sheets, another great idea for cooling them off.

2 of the leghorn pullets had roosted in the apple tree this evening, and did not look very comfortable. I was going to let them stay, but decided not to let them start the habit. Moved them to Onyx's coop, but one came back out. I closed them in so they couldn't go back in the tree. I revamped...

Surprised you didn't notice a smell before now.

Won't be a pile for long. They are such great tractors, aren't they? Piles of anything don't ever last long around them. Raking leaves is futile.

Looks like a fantastic supplement. UK has different products. Onyx laid an egg yesterday, and she is back to her old self. Mystery illness for sure.

Not sure. I have Rooster Booster. What ingredients are in the ones you have?

Yes, and yes. Got 'em bad! Hopefully this will solve the issue. Saw a few today, but they were out in the open, unlike before yesterday. I hope no one gets them. I wouldn't wish these on my worst enemy, no, maybe I would. 🕷🕷🕷

No, they weren't on her. Should I spray her and the rest if the hens as well? I only have red mites, thankfully not NFM.

Only one?

Oh, what a day! Decided enough is enough. Unscrewed the panels and windows off the coop and found a gazillion mites. :rantFirst I took my heat gun to them, then bought some permethrin to spray everything. Death to all mites!!!!! What the heat gun didn't fry, the spray.killed the ones in the wood...
