Had 2 days of sun and no rain at my house and am trying to dig sand from back of property and wheelbarrow it to front where coop is. water went down a hair, but then this morning got .3" of rain. Getting a truck load of sand but they cannot bring till tues, so still digging and hauling from yard. guess I am pretty attached to these crazy hens and i thought retirement was supposed to be easy!
Now there is a tropical storm brewing but hopefully it will go NE and miss us. have built up inside coop about 4" so far. will be tring to build a dike so the next 2 weeks forcast of rain everyday will find another place to go. Consider myself blessed-other areas of country loses houses, even a few under water nearby, so a coop is minor.
