What did you do with your flock today?

Reminds me of how they dust cows. Nice work!

Good idea! I put Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth in their dust bathing holes and in the straw and sand in their coop. Haven't had any issues with mites.

She's such a doll too. She definitely enjoys just hanging out with her flock best, but she'll still let me scoop her up and say hi. She's a good girl

Today I did a full inventory of all my chicks I’ve hatched this year. Took forever haha. I didn’t take pics of every single chick but got a couple of the ones growing out really nice. Also got a group picture of all my watermaals I’ve recently hatched and the bobtail that hatched today

Also had a poultry project meeting that went fine until we wrapped things up. The youngest kid at the house we were at didn’t shut the door fast enough and let out their young, maniacal German short hair puppy. That dog moved SO fast!! She found an opening thru a kids legs into the main yard…and proceeded to take off after the free ranging chickens! Everyone went after the puppy and left the other gate open and her three dwarf goats went thru the open gate onto the deck where we were practicing and beelined straight for the landscaping The one goat was properly admonished for its naughtiness but the other goat was quite uninterested in listening and pulled a “cat on a leash” and just flopped down and refused to move So while people were running all over trying to catch the puppy, the chickens were squawking and freaking out, kids were yelling, and the goats were bleating It wasn’t funny at the time, but afterwards I couldn’t stop giggling at the chaos

We are all exhausted and tired from the weekend and wishing we had another day before Monday.

I'm really liking the idea of using d-limonene as it's more environmentally sound and non-toxic. Haven't tried it yet but I'm going to give it a go.
