Here's the product. It also deals with lice & mites as well. You can't use it on meat birds but everything else seems fine.

Brilliant. Thanks heaps Ribh.

They have been really bad up here & Namaste has really bad fowl pox [dry] & I know how much they bother me so why should my chookies suffer if there's something that will help?

Hey! Good plan re firewood!

lol Our RH neighbours run a slashing service [most of the island used to be farmland so every block is over run with cattle cane & Kykura] & sometimes he has to cut up fallen timber before he can slash. He loves our eggs & I am generous with them so he dumps the cut wood out the front for us. It's not always cut but that's how I got 3 really great stumps for the chook pen! We have some really big ones we want to landscape with.

So we left the house @ 7am. Regular mainland day where John does the Dr & we pick up chook food & building supplies. Today we had a number of other minor errands: phone charger cord; 3 phones in the house & nary a 1 working! I don't care.

We are hard on glasses. John did 2 pairs in 2 days this week. And we have both been notified we need our regular checkup. I am really overdue but I can only cope with one health issue @ a time & I have been doing 2: skin cancers & teeth. Three was too many so I have been putting my eyes off. Besides I wanted to go with the more expensive silicone frames in the hope I wouldn't break quite so many pairs. X 2. If anything, the man is worse than I am.

The girls have been eating up a storm with the cooler weather & I ran out of mealworms ~ another unobtainable item on the island, fresh or dried!

Strange how similar things are on opposite sides of the world! I’m thinking of maybe a full town day on Thursday as well. I’m not 100% I can commit to it with the little meat birds being just 5 weeks old though. They are much higher maintenance than my heritage breeds for sure. Andrew is just not very good at the shopping thing sometimes, yes he got everything on the list I sent, but wrong brands of some things (fine with me, but my mom is pickier) and not enough of some staples...

I just figured out what probably toasted my last pair of glasses... from now on I will wear the goggles, ugly and uncomfy though they are, every time I use the angle grinder! Sorry you’re dealing with skin cancer, it can be quite awful and draining to treat. My Father has had to deal with that twice now, a life spent outside doing landscaping was good for his health in all aspects but that. Now we use the same sunscreen, coppertone clearly sheer SPF 50. I’m pale!

Have you considered growing your own mealworms? It’s not nearly as challenging as I thought it would be, and they don’t take much time. Mine literally live under our coffee table in the trailer.
