DE? Or Sevin? Other suggestions?

LC:

I have ivermectin...5mg pour on, I think 5-6 drops on the back for LFs

Also, I have permethrin powder, I mix it in with the pine shavings every other coop cleanout....make sure to get a good bit in the nesting boxes....my two cents....

Don't throw them away -- incubate them !!

It was just a suggestion

Chicken math is a bit abstract until they actually hatch. I set 52 eggs last week with the thought that "they can't all possibly hatch -- probably only half at most".

that's terrible.....

I googled it and it said a deep fryer got out of hand and two employees were hurt...one badly....but didn't mention any damage to the building(s)....

for those of you that are local within driving distance,,,,would you be interested in a crop of pick your own sweet corn,,,,,,,we plant this every year and it gets away from me and goes to waste,,,,,it seems to always be ready at a time when we are also busy at work, so I can not get to it in the field, let alone the processing of it to put in the freezer or can........I end up picking most off it to late when it gets chewy and ends up going to the birds..

and a garden question,,, lima beans, are they really hard to grow or is it just me....I get nice looking plants that never flower...

Wing...TSC on 22 in HBG has a bin FULL of RIR. They also have EE pullets for anyone else.

I'd drive down there for corn
