birds are so crafty though, if they see you coming with the powder container they leg it  :lol:   I hide it  behind my back but they can see round corners  :D

I'm going to get Diatom and add some to their feed pot as I get more powder on me than them.

Mind you I still have to do the Vaseline thing. Here chick chicks  :twisted:
