It's been cloudy and rainy for almost 2 weeks, and now we're going to get an estimated 12 inches of rain in the next two days! My girls are not happy!
Madder than a wet hen x13!
Hey Dad! Can you turn off the water!
Mom! I'm wet and not happy! (Mom tells them to hush and get back in the coop! Silly girls!)
The good news is, all the lessons we learned from our spring rainy session helped us build a better coop for the fall. The new coop is up on stilts so we aren't having to dig our way into the coop! All the runoff and mud is flowing under the coop and the garden paver wall around the edge not only keeps predators from digging in and an busy brahma from digging out, but it's diverting the water around the run! So the only water in the run is what falls in it and being on a hill its running out towards the bottom of the run!
