I'm just at the very beginning of my fly-control journey (one of more than a thousand steps, I suspect). I got the traps to start, just set them out today, so no idea if they will work or not, will also be taking a number of preventative steps as well...

Hello Darlin'

OK, so my neck just seized up and is making a horrible crunchy sound - so some of that lifting and twisting stuff today apparently didn't go well (previous car accident --> ruptured cervical disc --> arthritis --> intermittent unavoidable ouchies). So I had to come in for pain meds - taking the opportunity to post photos from my desktop.

I found a HUGE grub in one of the bags of composted mulch I was moving. Like, really huge. This is my thumb in this photo - not sure if it comes across as huge as it actually was, because it's curled on its side here. It was a full inch wide and about three inches long stretched out.



I made the "food" noise and threw it in the Naked Neck paddock and Sweetie swooped down on it, and spent the next 15 minutes running around with a grub almost as large as her head hanging from her mouth, making those "I've got food, I've got food" sounds. She enjoyed it greatly (as she got to eat most of it), and great fun was had by all.

And @Ur-ur-ur-urrr , here are the belated photos, because I moved the Naked Necks into their new paddock today. Before and after. They were deliriously happy with the new grass... I'm going to actually get proper grass seed (meant for wild fowl forage, from King Seeds) and re-seed the bare dirt so it'll be even better next time they switch.




OK, this neck thing is really sucking wind. I think I need to lie down. If I'm not back tonight, see you guys later.

Sorry to hear about your neck. I've a similar problem. Ice and one of those pillows that have a roll in the front helps.

So I have found to trap the blue bottle fly a real simple water and chicken innards, small piece, and a repurposed plastic fly trap works really well. I've been using the fly strips for the other varieties but they only work for a short while and then get too dusty from chickens.

Sorry about your neck. That grub is huge! I'm glad the chickens enjoyed it.
