BUT!! There's hope ahead. The "Malaria Journal" (heady reading, I assure you) recently reported that mosquitoes don't like chickens. The scientists are still trying to zero in on just what it is they don't like... feathers? smell? clucking?... but meantime, we need to take advantage of that knowledge.
Surely there's room on your patio, deck, garage, for a few chickens to keep away those mosquitoes. And think of the side benefits... fresh eggs! Early morning alarm service for the neighborhood!
But before you head out to the hardware store for that chicken wire, let's make sure our bidding and play is worthy of our feathered friends.
