I did a bit of research and decided to hold off on the expensive and chemical pest control methods. A few weeks later I noticed the mites were gone, and they haven't been back since. The best prevention I read about was having a box of sand where the chickens can dust bathe over the winter.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09941280453570504094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2838004838772936244.post-6835104532627663942011-01-24T15:31:31.000-06:002011-01-24T15:31:31.000-06:00Hiya Girlfriend!!

Chickens are supposedly great for orchards, eating bugs, pooping, keeping weeds down, etc. <br /><br />Mama Pea -- So, why does your pear tree not bear fruit? Should I be worried about ours not bearing? Share the story!<br /><br />Black Astralorps are lovely birds, I love the green satin sheen to their black feathers. I had some speckled sussex a few years ago, very pretty birds with a good disposition. Now I'm thinking I should order some this year...Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09941280453570504094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2838004838772936244.post-79326754040840889462011-01-22T23:23:11.513-06:002011-01-22T23:23:11.513-06:00Very pretty flock indeed!

They look like they're a pretty happy bunch. <br /><br />We have a pear tree in our chicken yard also. But just one. Which never bears. Of course. Long story.<br /><br />We've got our new chicks ordered for this spring. We went with Black Australorps and Light Sussex for the first time.Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.com
