    Question about shipped eggs I received

    Someone just contacted me to say they hatched 4 out of 2 dozen eggs we sent them. The packaging was damaged and three eggs were smashed. I would think such rough treatment would make them unviable, as we have been hatching lots of chicks at home. We pack very carefully in tissues, then in a...

    No way! We lived for a few years next to the Indooroopilly train station. Would you get Isabel if you used lavender over buff?

    FERMENTED FEEDS...anyone using them?

    Nothing gets wasted at our place. Any left overs go to the chooks. They also have a big compost pile to dig through. I make enough FFeed for the day. I use pure grains so I add meat and bone meal and livermol at serving. They free range and if locked in the 21 x 12m compound ( we have eagles...

    Neem oil for mites

    I use it undiluted. A little goes a long way. When I say spots with the brush, that is literal. Use tea tree or lavender with it for wood that will make it easier (as neem solidifies when cold). I spray nests with neem lavender and tea tree. Good prevention, plus they (mites) just bail out if...

    Neem oil for mites

    I use neem oil. I just use a little paint brush to do legs then spots under wings, vent and tail gland. Works fast. The hormone like substance in it confuses blood sucking pests, to the point where they can't eat or reproduce. Disturbing their breeding cycle. I do perches too like you. Then I...
