Frightened to speak too soon, cause I dread it, but no strike in my little flock since we started with them .... nearly 4 years.


Neighbour has 2 cases though in his small flock .... this week .... so you are not on your own.


Still checking mine. Warm and really humid here today.

yup, warmed up here too and all the flies have come back to life.   grrrr.  at least the constant rain will keep them at bay for a couple of days.
worried about worm hatches now too, given the rain and warmth....grrr again!
