You need Guineas! They'll get rid of those fire ants.
 
CSB I wanted to thank you for the offer abt the roo- but I am down to 4 hens now think I'm gona close that lot. I need to downsize some anyway didn't want to do it that way. But when the lot is not coon proof that what happens.AB
 
Finally pulled out the seeds and started some of 'em in peat pots. Last time I started them inside they did great till they were transplanted outside...fail! Hoping it works better this time although I will be planting some directly in the ground, had better luck that way the last two years. But usually bought started tomato and pepper plants. Hoping to grow enough to eat now and can some for later. Also have some that are "chicken/duck" treats, like I am sure everyone else does too.
 
Hello all you NC-BYC'ers !!! Glad to know ya !, well getting to know ya hopefully. I'm in Elm City (lil' bitty town just outside Wilson which is about 30 miles SE of Raleigh).

I just picked up 6 red ladies this past Friday and had my first AIR flighter today. One on my watch and one when hubby got home. I think it was Rosy both times, just cause she's got to know what's happening, apparently...

10 days old today, they are beginning to turn red in a few places, just a light shade of color. Still working on the coop and run, but should have complete before they get ready to reside there.

This is my first time for anything live, other than a fish and a couple dogs. I was so excited when they came home and then again when they got their feathers and now they're flying, I was excited for her to fly just not to have her loose and me have to "slowly" apprehend her...but I did it !!!! ME, the city (originally from Louisville, KY) girl relocated to the country town. I have handled the chicks since we brought them home, fed/watered them, changed the litter, done it allllll.....I'm so proud of ME.
