Candling lesson was fun! Found some eggs about day 6, some about day 4, and some day 2 or so. Then some that weren't incubated, and one with a weird rolling aircell! Tomorrow we're going to open a few eggs and look at the blastoderm. I have some that were sat on a couple of days, then fertile, then infertile store eggs.

Bugs flew all over me at the coop, and when I came in there was SOMETHING on my arm. And now I think my clothes are full of bugs.

Yes, I did that once in college. We were trying to run from it and got trapped in an alley! It was a good story.


The parish sends a truck out regularly and as needed when we call. Not sure what they use, but it's pretty effective. Has to be over 65* and no wind or rain.

That's right, forgot about the no wind rule. Must be the same stuff.   No worries about the rain here, of course.  

Muscovy ducks are supposed to be mosquito eating machines.  If everybody got some, it would help I bet.  We should start a muscovy campaign.

Was that you told me once before? I'd rather build bat boxes and Martin houses. At least then I wouldn't have something else to feed and doctor.

Good idea! And ducks, although very cute, are MESSY!

Can you imagine the mosquitoes that are going to be in Houston?

That's true. Maybe you could have a lesson on bat boxes for the staff or campers too, and get some set up. I had some bats around here. but they disappeared with the drought.
