Oh wow that’s terrible!I got them all vaccinated for lymes, so than they got the other kind of diseases like anaplasmosis. There's a few other ones, and a few they haven't identified yet. So the vaccine helped, but yet it didn't, so I stopped it. I had at one time a hundred chickens running amok, and a batch of muscovy, but it only takes one or two ticks.
I’m sure it’s hard too with all that land. Lots to clear haha our property isn’t that big so it’s easier for them to get them probably haha I’m sure the woods are still loaded with them though; we just had a couple big huge bucks come through yesterday so the deer are still around, but the chickens keep the actual yard and the edges of the woods clear at least which was nice when we still had Gator.
