One or two sips and I was so tired.......................eggz-hausticaided.
I woke up at 4 and of course it was getting quite light & birds want OUT!
Roosters crowing...
and I went right back to sleep & woke up again at 6, and then went right out to coop out.
Now I have to finish unloading feed bags, fill each coop's feed bin, and fill the broiler feed bin & mix the ground corn into it.
Meaties arrive Tuesday.
We had a mess of chicks hatch last night...and set another 34 or 35 eggs in another incubator.
It is dead still, mellow-cool and damp here...and the no-see-ums are clouded all over everywhere, millions of them!
DH & I sprayed ourselves, even the hair as the nasty biters walk through your hair & bite ya on the noggin.
I hate these bugs!
They will never go "away" unless we dry out.
Need dry & breezy.
They are poor flyers, so a bit of a breeze and they duck in the mud.
Right now they are so thick everywhere that you cannot walk around with your mouth open.
That is what's biting me!!!! I have all these little bug bites on my hands, neck, etc. Stupid little bugs!
Only the females bite, and they have teeth, not a long skinny needle nose like a mosquito, so they itch worse.
And the females must have a blood meal to lay their hundreds of eggs..so stop feeding them!
They LOVE compost, so my green house is full of them, and I have tried to dry it out in there as they die quickly if the soil dries the slightest bit..but it is raining so hard here right now that I cannot hear the TV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
