MJ's little flock

[BY Bob]

When we bought our house it was infested with cockroaches. At night the outdoor laundry wall was so covered in them it was like the wall was moving. Now THAT would have been the time to have chickens!

How did you get rid of a infestation that bad?

Dear little Ivy gave me a wonderful treat this morning: she took a good scratch while perched on my knee

In my life I have seen so many cover the ground that it looks like the earth is moving. It's too many and I hope to never see that again.

Wow! Scary. And it must have been deafening.

You'd need a really big flock of chickens to deal with that!

It is creeping me out just thinking about it again.

I'm right there with you

Release the hens!!!!

We baited, sprayed and bombed. We didn’t have pets then. Even then, they kept getting into our kitchen cupboards as the insides were unfinished and had holes everywhere.

It was like something out of the Bible. And yes a very large flock of chickens would be needed. We would sit on the porch and shoot them off the trees with a .22 rifle as they were in profile on the tree trunk. We shot all afternoon one day and never ran out of targets.

Such a privilege! It has made my day. Nothing can take the shine from this particular Saturday.
