I've received over 60 chicks in the last 2 months. useless death is one thing, but hey, the most respect I can show a critter is a fast death. but 60 birds are not going to get hugs and kisses from me.
I handle cattle for vet/safty reasons, but it's not like a chicken can kick you and break your leg.
A waiter was asked how they prepared there chickens..
"well we just tell them they are going to die"....

| Just got 14 new chicks 2 months ago, they are doing fine but has anyone found a good way to keep the flys down? I have fly traps up but at 5 dollars each that is too much, They are in a pen 12x16 most of the day and I also rototill the soil each week to turn in the stuff they leave behind. some days the flys are bad others not so bad, I tryed the stuff the store had for livesock/fleas/mites but it doesnt seem to help with the flys. Any help would be great. You can email me also if you have any suggestions. bob.mary.maher@sbcglobal.net Thanks to everyone. Enjoy the chickens and they sure do like treats, bob

| Fly tape seems to attract them, so we don't use them. There is this new thing on the market were you bait them into a throw away bucket/bag. Along the lines of a hornet's trap. Just haven't seen it on the market down here.
