The front and back are all screwed in. So about half way done.

First coop

Front of hoop coop. If anyone wants me to do a break down of how I build the new hoop coops just left me know.

So this is our unproductive garden full of weeds. I wanted to figure out a healthy way of weeding. N so I did. The bare ground is the aftermath of
1 gal white vinegar
1 cup salt mix then spray.
A day later DEAD. Works wonders however our soil has been crap from the start. It is getting better. However I have a plan for next year u guys will love it. Just thought I would share the organic way to kill weeds. Plus I think there is a small amount of one of the chemicals used with napalm in roundup so think about that when u are using roundup.

My manfighter still won't let me get near. U can see I'm outside of the cage

So we went kayaking and fishing for the fourth. HAPY 4th. Now we're back n back to work. Gotta get a hoop coop done today.

So these are the blue oyster mushrooms that I started earlier. I kind of forgot about them didn't do any maintaining with these and all of a sudden looked over n they were past their prime. But here they are.

Ayam cemani chick.

California valley quail

Red/yellow/cinnamon golden 2015

U can see the top piece with a hue of red no good. Not good for breeding. Will Beverly used for his feathers.

2015 ornamentals coming in good color

So it's been just rain and that's all not very much work getting done. Soon tho.

I love your birds!
What kind of Lilies are those bi-color?

 

[birdman55]

Peach goldens coming into color Turing out very nice.

Carrots turning out nice.

Flowers are from Walmart when they sold them as bulbs.
Hope the rain stops I need to get some coops built.

Finally out of the house. So different. We put an air filter in the house as well

Chickens and pheasants together that's how much room I need.

More eggs to hatch
