I had to treat poor Shanny for fleas. She had them under her wings and tail feathers. There’s more stray cats in the area than I can count, so I blame the flea infestation on them.
What I think is: I have lots of feed scattered around the yard all types of birds come get their dinner. The cats come to get the birds, and the fleas come with the cats. My chooks will use any excuse to not lay eggs. Fleas and mites are a good excuse I guess. I’m working on the flea population. I’m needing something safe to put out on the yard grass. (My chooks eat the grass) and I don’t want them poisoned.

Mice carry fleas, would go after the feed too.

Yes, she has grown amazing fluff! And such pretty highlights!

Somehow chickens maths has multiplied the number of black butts around me. So many and I couldn't get one good shot.

There was Merle.

My cat problem isn’t this bad though:

Mice carry fleas, would go after the feed too.

I have the strays around, so the mouse population is lessened. There’s field mice here, house mice, and gophers all around here. I guess I just need to cut back on feeding the wild birds.

How are you?

Not sure if she did a Swedish or deep tissue massage.

Both sound like a form of torture but maybe that is what I need!

Wow, I think both me and my husband need it!!! Deeply!!! I may sound like a pig being butchered during the appointment but I need it!!

I will pay tax this afternoon!

Lety says I need one. But we're pretty busy, I haven't had a day off in a few weeks.
