Cup o' Joe and Tea Too

Good afternoon every body. Thanks for the coffee. And, wow. 30 days no rain, Penny? What a lousy time to be laid up! I could be painting the new coop! DH will have to water flowers, and maybe even the lawn. How about that?

Thanks for asking after me, Debby. I'm okay. This isn't a great day, but making the best of it. Some days will be like that, I suppose. Just doing my job...healing.

Have him help you outside to a chair. Fresh air is great you can hold a hose just let him work around you

Not sharing all the details of this journey online, but suffice it to say, I need to stay in a pretty sterile environment. I wont even be out to see the chickens from outside the fence for a couple weeks, and will then have to see what the doctor says for after that. This was all more complicated than I care to talk about.

That being said, I am surrounded by windows and can see the river from my living room chair, so it's all good. I need to not take any risks for a short while to get past some vulnerabilities, so I'll enjoy it from here.

Fresh air is indeed a great thing, and I have that right here too.

Your right we are no knowledgeable about what they actually did..
Nor the limitations placed on you but your Dr's.
You have a great husband there to care for you and all that entails

Yep. He's doing a great job, although he is learning that I do a lot around here. He's feeling pretty busy right now. Bless his heart.

He's excited about the weather change and plans to paint the new coop for me.

Ahhhh would love to see when he is done .. I have decided to use a metal building from Home Depot to replace my main coop 10 x 12 think one will do ... build a regular door not the sliding style put some soffits in the roof line and of course a couple windows add a pop door for them and insulate good

Sounds like that would work. When Mike finishes this coop I will post an article on it. If it's finished in time, I might even enter it in the coop contest. Mainly I want to share it because nearly every idea we got was from someone on BYC. We took all our favorite ideas and put them together. I love it already. Changes cleaning coops from 30+ min a day to 5 min a day. Can't beat that! And no more chickens sleeping in nest boxes! They love their new coop!

Started by thinking I would need more space. We talked
about square feet and such as I have a huge coop now.. Only 16 birds at any given time..
This right now have 19 in one 5 in the other they would stay in there but get a bigger yard

That sounds great Val, I'm looking forward to seeing it!
