we have done the same o/s or should i say my son has

yes been a decent day here today, soon warmed up when I started clearing......noticed ybs were starting to chip out today, should have more by the end of the week...

Been a weird day here, light rain this morning , then some snow showers late morning, sunny and nice this afternoon, birds out in the trap and looking good, even did some gardening ( but not much lol)

i was about to put a damper on spring because its freezing here but double figures for the weekend

fine dry day here, but its still cold.......cant grumble tho`, least I can do something out side..

just changed the sliding door in yb loft from a solid door to a mesh one ...that's the last job this year all done now just need to put the litter down when ybs go in ...certainly feels like spring now with a few eggs about and hens looking likely to lay tonight

young bird loft sprayed out with virkon and just needs to dry out before we replace the deep litter we saved from last 3 year and put y/birds in

{young bird loft sprayed out with virkon and just needs to dry out before we replace the deep litter we saved from last 3 year and put y/birds in }
Then why spray?

sorry to hear

as soon as it starts to dry up and soak away, the rain comes again, ive 120 flags to lay this summer which will hopefully put a stop to it in future.....
