been at the allotment all day to day getting the last of the winter jobs done so far we have oiled all the padlocks and hinges, put down a rough brick path in the duck pen because its getting so slippery i will end up on my backside sliding into the pond one day, both chick and duck pens have been washed out clean with jayes fluid and new bedding added as normal. I have a problem with red mite at the moment because the girls cant use the ground as a mud/dust bath they are finding it difficult to keep clean so we sanitised the pens and i have put a curve box inside the one covered area with a bucket of dry soil for them i have also added a tub of red mite powder into it as well to help when they fluff up, and worst of all the duck pond was drained and washed out and is refilled, tommorow we just have the green house and main shed to muck out. how are you lot getting on
