That not anything a few chickens can't take care of.

Ok I have another one, anyone know what this one is?

Oh Dan!!!! Pick me, pick me, pick ME! I know exactly what kind of caterpillar that is: It's a yellow one! Hopefully now a dead one.

Sorry Dan no idea.


Went out to check on the garden and found birds had started building a nest in my tomato plants! Dh took the twigs out and I put a fake snake in the top of the plant to keep them from coming back! Darn it I have huge oak trees and all kinds of trees everywhere! They are not getting my tomato's!

I found a wrens nest in my burn barrel.

I found another caterpillar, I'm pretty sure this one was a cutworm though.

There's literally thousands of insects and there's no way I can keep up with them all. Therefore, in my mind, there are two kinds of bugs... beneficial ones and chicken treats. I learn the good guys and the rest.... GULP!

My chickens love treats!
