Re: [CHICKENS-101] Hazards of the USA

 

 Jane,  We do not have chigger, scorpians, black widows, and palmetto bugs in Michigan.  Thank heavens.  Our winters help keep them down south of us. Thank heavens.  I wonder if the huge populations of palmetto bugs have always been around or if it because of human development that they have such large populations?  Something for bed time reading. Don't you have anything similar? I know it sounds dumb, but I discourage any populations of flies/bugs et... around and in my barns.  They are intermediary hosts for worms for that infect chickens; maggots are too. I am going to get my fly traps set up outside this week. Cath


HI Cath. I can safely say I am glad I do not live in the USA after reading your list of bugs etc, gives me the shivers just reading bout them. Jane & Co.
