Today we decided to clean out the free range chicken sheds. It was a massive task as there was evidence of red mite. Red mite is a very common insect which lives in the nooks and crevises. Every year you should remove absolutely everything from the shed, remove all debris. Two shed took 12 man hours. They are now as clean as the day they arrived. We put down some herbal parsite prevention power and sprayed all the woodwork.
In the middle of this major operation, we were visited by Ashgrove School. They were a great bunch of boys and they were soon picking the eggs
driving the tractor....
and picking up the chickens..
we finished with feeding the piglets. Jamie and Micheal are coming again next week, which we are all looking forward to.
