What did you do with your flock today?

We headed up Koke'e to dismantle the trailer coop. This means I get to build another coop! Hehehehe, what to do, what to do?! This new one is going to have a good sized roof if it can and I am sure it can ;)

The hydrangeas I started 1.5 years ago are looking good. Slow starter but they have mostly been on their own

everything is popping up and blooming. Smells lovely up there. Will be heading up a lot this week as I have maintenance work to do.

Got the bug zappers in the mail. Set one up in main coop. It sounds like a 4th of July firework extravaganza. I can smell their little carcass burning.
The dyna I moved over to the roo coop area thinking it maybe catching mostly moths and such. I opened to check the basket and was pleasantly surprised to see a big pile of dead mosquitos in the middle, then promptly dropped the catch 😖

That is a lot of squitos. Took down all the tapes as they were filled already. Look much like the pile on the ground just full. Mosquitos are back out in force tonight. Lit a bunch of natural mosquito incense and may order 2 more zappers, depending what the trap looks like tomorrow. Insane 🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟

Yowza. I don't envy your mosquito's! They're part of why I started wearing dresses here. Monsoon we get flooded with them...just not that kinda flooded! 🤣 Anyways, I found long skirts or long dresses keep them off my legs and let me be cooler. Most of what we get here are leg biters and it's the most chemical free bug buster I've found. Nasty things carry too many diseases to let them bite you. Are they like that year round there, just winters or just an especially bad spell?
 
Sipping coffee in bed this morning ☕. I'm out on the back porch in my mosquito net covered canopy bed with my little Tuck puppy. Roosters are crowing their hearts out all over. I can hear mine popping off and distant neighbor roosters answering. The wild birds are greeting the day and it sounds like we have at least one mourning dove cooing away.

That is just a gross amount of mosquitoes! 🤢 I cannot imagine that many in such a short time!

Insane amount. Whole island has been bad after the wet winter. I have seen it bad before but never this BAD for this LONG. Well, I am learning a thing or 2 forsure. Had to go out last night and spray chicken feet and backs too.
Don't think the chickens slept well with the zapper so close.

Learning as I go lol. I will switch back to the dyna who's fan probably lulls them to sleep.
