Lots of cursing...

[Crow-ded house]

But we finally finished!! We have Mr Spot and his ladies, Mr Toughie and his ladies and chicks, the tsc babies all in their own elevated coops. The floor of each coop is waist high and have removeable trays with floor tiles for quick cleaning. Trying to get some plants and grass to grow by covering them so they can eat the grass but not dig it up. The shorter annex in the one run is Ms Stoney the rabbit’s run and house. Moved everybody this morning and they seem to be adjusting well.

We always use a mix of straw and pine shaving mix.

Very nice.
Just note that chicken wire is worthless in the face of predators. It keeps the chickens in but not the predators out.

Yep but that is what the dogs are for. Our all natural early detection radar. Two of them have already shown the coyotes that it is wiser to hunt elsewhere. Early in our chicken getting days we lost one to a coyote and one to an owl and one to an opposum. But not anymore.
