Good morning everyone! I've got all kinds of battles today.
I keep forgetting to mention that I have some kind of small, flying stink bug that's infesting my oats. I only grew a small 2 ft x 3 ft plot just to see how it does. These bugs are relentless. I SOAKED them with Neem (emulsified with castile soap) to see if it helps. I can't seem to find any organic insecticide that's effective against them. I've got 3 months to figure it out before I plant a larger crop...
I also have a chick that has infections in both eyes and a serious injury to one eye. I think this happened when broody momma trampled them with her nervous pacing. I brought the chick inside to treat it. It will definitely be blind in one eye, if it lives. I have another pullet who was blinded in one eye last summer from something similar. She does just fine so there's hope for the little nugget if we can save one eye.
