    Our Mixed Flock Journey!

    This is our very first coop. It was built for our first flock of bantams. Dale put it on sleds so we could pull it around. Eventually we placed it in the corner of our yard and built a run for them. That was after we learned the hard way that there were dogs roaming around and they killed of a...

    Got the wax rolled on the pieces needed for winter, I also have two mediums to wax. I will do those after I'm finished with the first group. Still need to hit about half of the pieces with the heat gun. I'll finish them up tomorrow.

    Thank you. That makes sense. We're pretty dry here, with very low humidity. So, I think well be good with how Dale built them. I guess we'll know soon.

    When Dale built the bottom boards, he left about an inch of space between the screen and the top of the bottom board on I think all but one of them. Building equipment has sure been a learning process. Wish we would have known to add slope. We could probably shave some off at some point.

    Nice. Our group went over that a couple of months ago. Dale is finally getting around to implementing it. It's been crazy busy here. We're pretty much just going to insulate the top and have burlap with shavings in it to help with the moisture. Which is what everyone in our local group does. I'd...

    Currently 52° and s light breeze here today. The girls are still busy. I need to wax two of the cedar hive boxes Dale built this summer. We will be using them as holders for the top insulation for the winter. I'll post pictures of that once we get to that point. He also cut a box down to use...

    It's busy. Beekeeping chores today, finishing up some boxes, so we can winterize the hives. Sounds like you've accomplished a lot. Such a good feeling when the outside jobs are completed. Where trying to get there, getting close. Enjoy your afternoon/evening!😊

    Yep, we need that too. The mosquitos are still coming into the house and the coop. We usually get our biggest cold snap in January and February.

    I always tell Dale it's my birthday month😂, we celebrate his too, especially since his birthday is right after Christmas. It's a fun excuse to go do something and kind of our running joke. So sad when people do that to themselves.
