Enjoying warm goat milk this morning. The cats are not happy they have to share. Lol

@BullChick , you know what’s really funny? You’re trying so hard to get Steven in the coop, and I’m trying just as hard to get Hero, Danny, and Zonk OUT of mine! They crowd the hens something terrible (I have BIG boys). Sigh...I want my new fence.

I am thinking of selling some of my ducks. I want to wait till I know how many male and females I have from the 7 young ones. What would be a good price to sell them for?

 

[BullChick]

$1,000 each for non-members, and $10-20 (depending on age and breed) for members.
Realistically, you might get $25, but I don’t think it will be as easy as a little cheaper.

We have part fo roof rafters up and start building 2 stairs. I'm very happy about the progress so far. The only problem is that area is loaded with fleas.We brought some into our house and have a hard time to get rid off them. We vacuumed the carpet and have Diatomaceous Earth all over it. Still get bitten a lot. Anybody have a better idea to kill fleas?

We had the same issue this year and got one of those seresto collars for our cat. They've pretty much vanished. I think Tractor supply has a permethrin based spray that you can spray on the carpet/floors of the house to kill them and you could get concentrated permethrin and dilute it and spray it in the yard. Just be careful as permethrin is poisonous to cats.

Thanks, I'll try. our cats never go out anyway. I can close them out of our bedroom. Our yard is fully fenced, so neighbors cats usually never get in. I'll try only apply in our bedroom first.

Garlic

Raw garlic? I assume it's a repellent only? We only have fleas in our bedroom and bathroom now. I don't want they run out to my son's room.

Garlic and cedar have been touted as a flea repellent for as long as I can remember. Cedar is of course bad for the flock.

You're not the only one overrun by fleas. We wasted a lot of money on flea treatments for our animals. Now I'm just doing DE sprinkled on the carpets, vacuuming after a week, then repeat if necessary. Give your animals a bath with the original dawn dish soap. We have 4 cats and bathing is not fun, but it kills the fleas on them so fast!
