Yep. I always say when I get to heaven I'm asking for a cheetah to be my companion animal!Could you imagine a snow leopard climbing into your lap and curling up?!
Thanks, Lozzy.I've contacted the uni wellness centre. Apparently I have some PTSD which is affecting how I operate. Any stress is likely to send me for a loop & of course studying is quite stressful in some ways. I did consider deferring but then what would I do? Figure it's better to just plough ahead.
And almost the same size as a snow leopard!
Okay. That's a problem!One of the things I truly hate about keeping chickens is the flies!!!
They come in absolute droves.
I've always kept a couple of fly traps round the coop because I figure the girls are no fonder of them than I am. Given the amount of manure & our warm, damp summers it just seemed sensible to have a couple hanging where they'd catch the maximum number of flies.
However when we moved here & the girls insisted on hanging on the patio of an afternoon it became impossible to set foot outside without 1 or 2 flies getting into the house. My son hates them more than I do so I repurposed an old fly trap I found in the yard & hung it @ the back door. It's only been there a couple of weeks but that's disgusting! Yep, the fly population has been considerably reduced!
Anyone else with the same problem or is it lovely, muggy Queensland?

That’s completely understandable.Thanks, Lozzy.I've contacted the uni wellness centre. Apparently I have some PTSD which is affecting how I operate.

Yep, it's a first for me too. I don't think the big wet has helped. I have noticed they're nowhere near as bad since I hung the trap.Okay. That's a problem!
I used to think the flies in the donkey and sheep sheds were bad. Never had any problem with flies in coops or even around the chickens.
