You have 6 chickens? How long have you been doing this?

Jury's out. It's the Morris Automatic Chicken door, found it online. It has been pretty good, but I may need to replace the timer.
I went outside tonight and heard the chickens makinga complete racket. They were in the coop, and the door was going madly up and down.
So, I need to see if I can tweak it by replacing the timers.

I made the raised beds super deep. Holds moisture better, and it saves your back.
The downside is that it takes a LOT of soil and compost to fill them, and you have to get on a ladder to harvest your tomatoes.
But I have been doing deep beds like this for years and love them. I just finished putting in a table and chairs under grape arbors in the center of the garden. I get up at 6 to take care of chicks and garden, and by 8 all the family is out there, reading the paper, harvesting, weeding, and feeding chickens. Without asking !! Pretty cool.

Just five chickens; we've had them since the beginning of April, so not very long. How long have you had yours?

What a fantastic coop! I love the french doors and the old windows, such a nice touch!

Its lovely, your little patch of heaven!
