I thought about doing that, but I don't mind going in the coop. I only do it once a day, sometimes not even that often. The feeder and waterer only need to be filled once a week or so. Besides, one of the roosts is my pull-up bar, it's the only thing that keeps me from getting completely flabby.

that is awesome. I just love the idea of a mudd hut, wonder if the beaer will be po-ed? I think the nest box is a great idea, and also wonder if the soil may need a year to rest before planting, but it looks like they are growing, can you check the nitrogen levels of the soil? might be high but garden lime would bring it down.

love it!!!

A friend of mine just put some koi in his pond, and he has a heron problem, too. He put a mesh over his pond, just below the surface where it doesn't show but keeps the birds off the fish. If you're interested, PM me and I can ask him exactly what he used...
