    Neighbors complaining about flies

    Document, with video if possible photographs otherwise, what steps you have made to reduce flies that may be originating from your land.

    Neighbors complaining about flies

    Before I get clobbered off the forums I'll confess now, I didn't get either pies nor Stilton yuck to both! I think they are maybe 2-3 weeks old once they have settled into the brooder I'll get some pics and see if anyone can help sex ands identify breeds, going to have a go at vent sexing but...

    Notts, UK. Back to having chooks after 10 year sabbatical

    Hey all, The internet wasn't such a big thing in my life when I last had chooks, so I never joined any forums before. Now I can finally have chooks again and I'm looking forward to participating here. Previously we started with Silkies, added some Pekins to the mix, a legbar roo who gave us...
