Never heard of it. What state is it in? We are closer to NC than most of the state. We are south westish, near Chatham and Danville. Actually closest to Gretna but no one ever heard of it. Less than 1500 folks there.

Ive heard of it and been thru there lol

Holy poop sticks guys. That was close.

Unearth the brooder from behind the containers and set it up in the garage. Sorry hubs.

Oh my, look at the time. It's almost 3:30am and I am still up. Why? you ask. Because tonight, after dark, I moved the garage pullets out to the big girl coop. All went well, very successful, but after I came in and sat down, I felt something creeping on my wrist, and guess what... a mite. Now I don't often use the H word. I keep it for really abhorrent things, but I HATE mites. Got a flashlight and went out to check, and sure enough, mite explosion. And I don't have any flea spray, but I couldn't sleep knowing the hens were going to get all eaten up, so I took a spray bottle of rubbing alcohol and killed as many as I could. Spent a long time out there with my flashlight and spray bottle. I discovered their evil mite den in the 2 cardboard nest boxes on the floor... newly hatched mites were crawling all over them. Took the boxes out to the garbage can, sprinkled in half a can of poultry dust, and shut the lid. Then of course I took a scalding hot shower, with lye soap and bleach... well, not quite, but I am CLEAN, and clothes are tied up tight in a plastic garbage bag until they get washed tomorrow.
Speaking of tomorrow, which is really today, right now, I have to go buy flea spray and Frontline. No sign of mites in the Serama coop, but I'm not taking any chances, and getting 2 bottles of spray. The Mite War continues when the sun comes up!!!

Morning Papa, it's typical foggy summer weather, cool and damp until about 9 or 10:00am when the sun breaks through. I should have known to looks for mites when the fog started up, they like cool summer weather. But I hate them.

Me too and mine are virtually out doors till the coop gets finished I decided to build a small coop for Lauren's birds and keep them separate as my birds won't free range and they do
