@Geranium
Where are you putting your nest boxes? In that open area there? Your coop looks really good!

@igorsMistress there's going to be a shelf along the wall on the side where the food is. They're going to go under the shelf.

@igorsMistress Nice! I'm thinking of getting a lighter colored dog in the future, so it will be easier for me to see it in the dark in the house. Gary said the next one we get cannot weigh more than 50 to 60 pound's full grown. Buster had to go on a diet because of his leg. It's hard on me too, because he drool's when I am eating. It get's the carpet wet, and sometime my shoes, because he lay's down and look's at you with those sad but hopeful eye's.

All the chicks went up to their new roosts tonight at bedtime! So proud of those little cuties.

I know what you mean, our dogs do the same thing and it's terribly hard to resist. Poor Buster. Is he still not better?

He tries to use all four legg's now, but every now and then it seem's to bother him and he will go back to using the three legg's for a bit. I shared some of my Hook-N-Ladder sandwich from Firehouse Sub's with him a bit ago. He loves tomatoes.

How much do you add? You're talking what you get in the spice section in the supermarket right?

Yeah, I buy the large containers from Costco when they have it. I just eyeball it. I mix feed in 5-gallon buckets. I'd guess maybe 1/4 - 1/3 cup of chili pepper flakes per 5-gallon bucket.

Just gave my flock a treat today, but there wasn't any pepper's in it. Just cut up tomatoes, carrots, some lettuce pieces, and a bit of shredded cheese.

Mine have been enjoying daily cuttings from the garden...especially the Malabar Spinach.
