I'll stop bragging about things...

How're the eggs holding up?

IF ya'll could build a chicken run again, what would be most important?

Haven't built one yet, lol! But as Hillbilly said, all those things when I get around to it.

Little cluckers had better appreciate it, too!

*fingers crossed into cramped positions and all the wood in my place dented from knocking*

ALIVE!!!

I also got around to purchasing a second incubator, to use as a hatcher (I had three different batches of eggs in the first one)

Oh, and I couldn't sleep anymore. Kept dreaming about eggs and incubators, for some reason

• door wide enough for the wheelbarrow (or other equipment like mini-tractor)

This one hit me deep lol. I can't tell you how many times I've already regretted not making a wider entrance. Hauling sludge bucket by bucket out of the pond and through the pen seriously sucks!

I dream about foxes getting into my coops a lot. Always have to get up and take a peek lol.

My Duck-House is located on stilts over the hill-site and i have created a poop-door through which i can just push out the soiled bedding to the compost mound without shoveling it into a wheelbarrow and hauling it to some other place.

Good wire-mesh will keep the foxes and raccoons out!
Weasels are another story…

This was the issue with our last run, only needed to be another 30mm wider, and the location it was built in there was no issue with space to allow that.
