We got a few showers yesterday, but that was about it. Some thunder last night but no action. Loving the weather, but I know it's too good to last, lol

I will look into a Dynatrap.

If you have a Sam’s or Costco membership I have found that is usually the best place to get them. Especially since they include extra bulbs (that have to be replaced once or twice a year). They have definitely helped us minimize mosquitos.

I love love LOVE my dynatrap. I ve had it 5-6 years-got it at home depot.
It runs 24/7 from March thru October or so. Dump the bugs for chickens.
I've never replaced the bulbs. I figured I would have by now, but they keep working. Since I said that, my bulb will probably die....

I broke my riding mower. Stupid leaves
Kicks leaves
Hurts foot on rock in leaves
Throws temper tantrum
Sits down and cries.....

Been there done that, lots
Replaced so many spindles
I’ve lost count… truly.

I have burned leaves the last 2 days. As soon as firepit cools I'll empty wood_leaf ash in run. Cedar pollen must have blown in, I went out this a.m. and head stuffed up, eyes started itching, sneezed 9-10 times, and came right back inside. It was gorgeous day yesterday, and today looks to be the same. I'll stay inside awhile, benadryl and maybe later....

I added awnings to the coop toblock rain entering the coop. I'm whipped. I'll get pictures tomorrow.
Keep in mind, I'm old and working by myself, so it's very far from perfect.
I am open for suggestions for improvement.
Naptime.....

Sitting in coop. It's drizzly gray morning.
Here are the pics I promised yesterday.

The gray birds are 24 weeks......

Candled the eggs from the freeze. 20 out of 24 going strong. Oops. Guess these are meat birds. 10 cockerels would be good. 10 pullets are next in line.

You'll be satisfied with whatever hatches! Good hatch wishes. When is hatch date?
