MJ's little flock

[BY Bob]

Could it be blitzed with something she likes and mixed with corn?

Yes. I was concerned about bees.
There are some moths in there but mostly mozzies

Fantastic. They didn't have these at Bunnings but I'll widen my search next time I'm shopping for insect reduction devices.

Mine does not trap bees. Moths, Japanese beetles and mosquitos mostly. Some flies.

Would she eat corn kernels from a tin? They're quite moist and amenable to blitzing.

Is your's a simple zapper or does it have a fan and CO2 like RC's?

I think he has one like mine with the fan - it was ‘cos Bob told me it didn’t trap bees that I decided to get it.
I do also have a zapper in the coop but haven’t figured out when to use it.
Best against flies but I don’t have that many.
It would kill bees but they wouldn’t normally come inside the Chicken Palace.

The stuff has a funny taste and it is a full 1 ml. It's a lot to hide in food and if she catches the taste she spits it out. Sadly Hattie is not a gulper. I thought about blueberries which she does swallow whole but that would require a fine needle and numerous blueberries. I may yet try them.

I'm open to suggestions.

Could you change to feeding a mash. If nothing else, it's great for hiding drugs in.

I wonder. I have never tried.

No zap. Blue light and a fan. The bugs are drawn in by the blue light and the fan sucks them into a removable container.

I try to empty it while the bugs are still alive so the girls get to chase and hunt. It just concentrates the targets for them.

If I could separate her that would work. Let me think on that.
