Grew up with putting bleach on chiggers

Been there, done that. Still itched like crazy and smelled like bleach. Yay!

I hated it!

I think my stepmother used to put clear nail polish on them too.

That's also great for your skin!

What the WHAT? I love Idaho as we don't have too much of poison stuff until you hit the mountains. Feel better soon!

That was last year. I haven't gotten near the stuff since then.

I don't blame you one bit

Almost all the broodies are done.


I'm so proud of my Cornish. She's been sitting for only a few days when I gave her shadowing eggs and she's doing so well so far with the babies that have hatched

Yeah. I was taught this too. Ivarest is all I use on bites now.

Ahh, poison ivy. None on the mountaintop I'm on now, but my farm down south was covered in it. I never had a goat touch the stuff (none of mine have read the books, not only do they not eat poison ivy, they eat lots and lots of grass) but pigs will slurp up the vines like spaghetti. I moved pig panels and feeders around until the place was clear. Anyone who's overrun, give it a try. And whether it works or not, you get bacon.

And ok, I know this is from pages ago, but I'm catching up and...

Because I can't think of a single rat anywhere around here that has ever tested positive for any disease.

... People test rats where you are???

On the chicken front, I am deeply depressed - my Buff Cornish rooster died. I wish I could find that breed anywhere but Ideal. Not that they're a bad hatchery, just so very far from me and definitely hatchery quality birds. Speaking of Buffs, gorgeous geese @ColtHandorf !! I really want Buffs, but my daughter wants Africans, then someone showed me there are actually Buff Africans, I'd just have to win the lottery.
