I use cardboard

We do too! We dump the poop into the garden beds & throw out the used cardboard (biodegradable).

Tried to get Curly and Betty together but they wouldn’t cooperate.

We've noticed alike breeds form their own mini-flock. Especially our Silkies.

Feather dusters of a feather, sweep the floor together!

Sometimes you just got to know when to admit defeat and call in professionals.

Yellowjackets have been terrible this year. I have never saw them this bad. It is not just us, it is everywhere around. I've saw news reports that Kentucky, West Virginia and Tennessee are horrible.

We knew there was a nest under the porch. We assumed it was under the ground. We have tried everything, homemade traps that were effective. Mom bought some kind of powder to kill them but no matter how many we killed there was still a insane number of the demons on the porch. We have not used our front door for over a week. This evening we had a exterminator come out. We were fighting a loosing battle. He found the nest and it was not under the ground. They had built a huge paper nest in our insulation and around the floor boards. The nest was removed and destroyed, and some kind of chemical sprayed for them. We were then assured that the few that remained would move on in the next 24 hours now that they do not have a nest to come back to and defend. If they are still a problem in a few more days he will come back out and look for another nest under the floor at no cost.

Whoa Nelly! That’s scary! They are so aggressive.

Even my chickens won’t mess with them! Smart birds…

Oh mine are bossy pants and push their way into everyone’s business - I have my three original silkies and my cousins old hens all hanging out together. Mr P is the big man for them, those 6 and he are always together, oh and Marty, but she is more on the outside of those 6, she mostly hangs with Mr P - they are an item from day one.

The rest of the hens are next level down for Mr P he prefers mature ladies.
