Is that squatch? He's a beef cake. What's the pullet in the last picture??

 

[Shadrach]

YES!!
I'm going for my third cup of the day. I don't remember the last time I felt the need to do that.

First day back hard going DL?

I'm thinking about making some tea

I was just thinking the same.

Had mine last week. It's still working apparently.

Waste of time. Spent 20 minutes with a nurse practitioner answering questions. Then scheduled an echocardiogram and leg blood flow test and then a follow up appointment with the doctor. To my jaundiced eyes that looks like a scam to justify 3 office visits. Waste my time.

I went back to work for break on Thursday. Today is the first day of the Fall Quarter and it has been quite busy so far!

Maybe I should get a proper job.

My Youngest DDs female cat does that to me. I think she wants food though...

Sssssh,,,,,

Got some nice looking pullets and hens in that lot.

Thanks! I'm hatching more. I'm kind of picky with what I like, but I like variety. Red sex links are good layers, but not my favorite mix.

What kind of tea do you drink?

I think the run is what's most important, unless the weather is so extreme that the chickens have to be kept in the coop for a portion of the year.
The chickens here will happily roost without too much drama with about a square foot of floor space per chicken. They do have an unlimited run though.

Yeah, that’s what I was thinking too. We do get snow and they seem to want to stay in then and they also seem to be staying in a lot lately for some reason in general. but I’m thinking I’m going to cover the top of the run better and maybe the sides as well as expanding it and then maybe they will want to come out more??

But I do think if I make a big enough run so could just put some roosts in the back or something.
