building paradise for the birds

Views of the 4x4. Also make the roost higher then the chicken. I believe these ones are to short but it gives the bird more exercise so maybe it’s better

Got a random visitor today while I was out with the birds so I thought I would sit down n watch. They came less then ten feet away.

I really hope they don’t come back they were eating out of my bird dishes and I heard a few turkeys sneezing so I’ll be upset if they get my birds sick. Cool day tho.

Billy ruble rooster

Miner blues from this years hatch

Lacy’s from this years hatch also u can see somebody a feather picker so these will be going in a barrel and separated that should fix the problem

He is an unknown Gamefowl 50/50 of some sort plastic is all torn up and he is being transferred to the new coop. All the three by threes will then be cleaned and moved for the winter. Plastic will be thrown away and I think I might destroy all of the small three by threes been having issues with predators. So unless u have a fenced in yard or some sort of predator proof way I would not use these small coops the four by four yes those are ok. No issues.

So then there is this dude. He won’t let anything close not even a camera mister no tail McGee. And rough on his hen. He might he sold however.

Butcher rooster and I can’t win with him either so his issue is his beak before his top beak was messed up now his bottom is off a bit.

And then her miss miner blue and I forgot to molt until now when it’s freezing. Can’t win with this years hatch it’s been pretty different then most. Everyone i talked to ass we’ll say the same thing.

So out of all the ground scapes I would choose wood shavings from a wood mill not sawdust. This stuff is great it breaks down and later u just scoop it out in mix it with ur soils wherever u want I love it. So many more pics to come
