1st egg day slightly marred by red mites found when cleaning

Recommended Posts

Ewwwww :roll:

 

Just thought I'd clean the girls out and found red mite on end of roosting bars, first time! :shock: They seem to have small fly type things in their poo tray too, mm lovely.

 

I ordered two superglugs today as sick of getting woodchip out of drink container troughs, might need plastic roosting bars too now :think:

 

All cleaned out now and getting on with making our tea.....Not really looking forward to it now tho :lol:

 

All this with a bandaged and stitched finger, don;t rush up family, I'll do EVERYTHING!!

 

Men!! :notalk:

Oh dear.

 

Out of interest did you use red mite powder? I use red mite powder and Diat.earth in my wooden coop and crossing all my fingers have had no red mite since March :lol: i'm hoping

its because of these 2 not just luck lol whose to know!!

 

I'm hoping to invest in the cube bars to replace my wooden ones but i need someone to measure them for me :D

oh dear! poor you!

 

I recommend getting your DH interested in cooking. A good blokey cookbook or a cooking course for Xmas, maybe? It revolutionised my life.

 

DP went from "unable to do anything more than open tins or make pancakes" to our main chef with a very impressive repetoire of meals in 5 years. We had grilled salmon and homemade salsa verde with new potatoes, salad, and homemade salad dressing tonight. With a starter of smoked mackerel pate, to boot.
