We also have these bugs. We call them buffalo gnats. We use vanilla to keep them away from us, and permethrin around the coop to keep them off the chickens. Last year we lost 40 some baby chicks to them. If you don't want to use chemicals, we also found a fan in the coop helped, as did spraying...

I LOVE that bag!! I made wallets in our school colors and sold a bunch a couple years ago, but could never think of anything more creative. Thanks for the idea!! Did you have a pattern or did you make it up as you went? Love the bows and bracelets, too! My daughter would love them also.

I clicked this thread because I thoght it said QUILTY! HA!HA! Guess I wasn't the only one!!

My Name is Molly. My grandma used to buy all her grandkids pencils with our names on them. I Always got Mollie! Our daughter's name is Justice Mae, in our family we use middle names a lot. Someone asked me once when she was about 3 when we would stop using her middle name because it sounded...

Those are soooo cute!! Thanks for the info. Next year I will get it together and make ny own! Well, if the chicks will give me any good pics! Mine seem to be a little camera shy!

Does anyone know where I can find Christmas cards with chickens on them? I would love to have some this year. I have seen some cute ones in the past, but haven't had any luck finding them. I knew this would be the place to ask! Thanks!

Thanks! I though that she was leghorn, but my husband insisted that she's not because she doesn't carry herself the same as our brown LH. He still doesn't think I'm right, but I am glad you guys agree.

Thanks!! I would of never thought of that!

I can't see my pics. I may need instruction on posting them.

She is about 31 wks old and was in a rare breed mix from McMurray. My hubby has thought she is OEG but I thought silver leghorn. She is much smaller than the brown leghorns we have that are only 4 days older. White earlobes and yellow feet. Could she be a banty?

Sorry to hear of your gnat problem. I have the same problem, and I posted it a couple days ago. I have gotten a lot of good advice. We have a neighbor who had chickens killed by gnats. When he found them dead, their little noses were just plugged up. Someone suggested hummingbirds eat gnats so...

We do have bats flying around all summer. We live in the counry. We are going to put up a couple hummingbird feeders as well. We use vanilla body spray to keep the gnats off us, but I didn't know if I should use it in my chicks. They are only 3 weeks old. I did think about hanging a vanilla car...

Thanks! We will try that. We have a fan just don't know yet where or how to mount it. Hummingbirds would be nice. Also wondered if a bug light would help. Anyone use one around chicks?

The gnats must of hatched out today. They are swarming aroung the coop, and our 3 week olds are huddlied in a corner. The babies were running aroung all morning, and I noticed by evening they were all inside. When I went to check on them, the gnats were just swarming. My daughter and I dosed up...
