Ah, the old red mite is bane of a chicken keepers life. We got chickens again this year after a couple of chicken-free (no pets) houses. This place was an old smallholding so I managed to sort out runs OK, but we didn't have a coop. Herself found a second hand one on Facebook marketplace and it turned out to be two houses away. I duly legged it up the road and carried it home, and within minutes I was itching all over. Heaving with the little blighters.
Managed to sort it over the week before we got the girls. Gallons of Poultry shield, Jeyes fluid and a lot of hosing. Since we got the laydees in September, no problems.
Dilys, the speckledy, laid a massive double-yolker today which must have made her eyes water. Scrambled on a bit of toast with a slug of Worcestershire sauce...that made a cracking lunch.
Clover looks like a proper bunny. Love it.

Don't shoot me, I'm only the piano player. I DON'T work for or on behalf of EON.Next, but am willing to try and help if I can. Not on mains gas, mobile network or mains drainage. House heated almost entirely by baby dragons.
