Finally got the rafters in place... I have to use blocking instead of purlins as I don't have the height under the overhang and I want the underside to clear my hat.

Something looks a bit out on the far end... you better tear it apart tomorrow and try again

I’m just kidding, it looks perfect!

It's hard to get my young chickens to go to bed. They want to stay up late. The adults all go in before 8. Moonshine gets her brood in slightly after 8, they all follow her in. But my 7 have no such direction and like to mill around until 8:30 or later. I can't order them in, or chase them in. And if fireflies come out, they get all excited chasing them.

Our kittens are learning to wobble... I think they nearly have that mastered... then I guess they’ll turn that into walking, lol

I’ve been dealing with bed time issues too... think we’ve got a routine now though...

I’ve been taking Laurel and Hardy for a walk around 7, then I sit on the front porch while they mill around until they get ready, then they come roost on me around 7:30... the chicken first then eventually the turkey

then I walk through the house with them riding on my shoulders and put them in their ‘crib’ which is a storage tub with a heating pad set to low on the screened in back porch...

I think if the turkey saw fire flies he’d want to stay up all night, lol

a couple more weeks of this and they can stay out in their ‘day coop’ all night

Same problems here, all my big girls follow their roo in but those darn 8 babies are up until 9! They also get up at the crack of dawn, don’t know how they do it!
