Welcome back! So good to hear from you again. As for those fleas, recently read about elemental sulfur, put in a dusting bag hung above their coop door, which will automatically treat them as they go in and out. Works for mites as well, especially NFM, which you may not have. Good to hear about your escapades, and successes.Hey gang, sorry so disappeared and don't have time to read back posts yet.
Forest is still missing and I am putting everything I have into finding him. It has ruled my early mornings and late nights calling, looking, baiting, trapping... It has been hard living with absolute heartbreak for a month. I'm tired and sad but still hopeful and will not give up, ever. ♡♡♡View attachment 3814187
AJ has had a series of infections and falls. So during my non cat calling and baiting and trapping hours- aka daylight, it is much about her. We have been meeting with Healthcare pros and getting additional help and eyes to make sure we are up to par. She has done some serious declining and we are barely keeping her out of a wheelchair. The PT is helpful. DH is main caretaker and doing a great job, I am wound care, bathe care, additional meals, second set of eyes and fill in when he has had it- because, it is a lot and should not be done alone.
I still have my full flock, still waiting on new dad to be finished and claim LB's but glad he has been slow and thorough. I have won the battle with stick tight fleas, maybe not the war, but flock is clean. Keeping them locked up while treating and retreating the soil several times seems to have really knocked the flea numbers down and out. Pyrethrin is a wonder View attachment 3814202
Enjoying Mango season

And have still managed to catch up and keep up with my bag stands!
Tally Ho monster has been a great comfort. He sleeps with me and keeps me company often.View attachment 3814196View attachment 3814197

Also, squeezing in work up at the cabin as a guest is coming next weekend. DH is down with sore hip ontop of everytging else, so this falls on me but I don't mind. I love the fresh air and the ride up View attachment 3814205
