Egg Count for the Month of May: 93

Lessons Learned: Fly paper does not stick to feathers as nastily as it clings to everything else. I went to the coop this morning and discovered that Rocky somehow had gotten the strip of flypaper (which was tacked to the coop ceiling) tangled around him. Judging from the way that it was tucked under one wing, I'm thinking that he must have flown into it.

Anyway, I managed to herd him into the coop and catch him, wondering if I'd have to take the scissors to some of the feathers to get it out. Fortunately, the strip came away with a minimum of gentle pulling, though it was a protracted process since I was trying to keep a junior roo calm in my lap at the same time.

Now to rethink my insect control plan.
