Looking good! I like how you painted the inside with pretty colors! Boy is that Mille in the one picture beautiful!!!I'm quite partial to the Buff Brahmas over the Lights, though my Lt. hen was a super great old gal. I do miss Miranda. Had a Lt Brahma cockerel, too, a sexing mistake from Ideal and sold him when he was 15 weeks old, but he was really laidback and friendly. Almost wish I'd kept him at times.
Cleaned out the bantam coop entirely today. I didn't get the walls completely like new because my arm wore out, but the cobwebs, poop on the roosts are mostly gone. Took it down to the bare floor, swept it, sprayed Oxine on roosts, walls and floors and Orange Guard in cracks and crevices to kill any bugs that might want to take up residence there. Fresh shavings on floor and in nests and voila! Fresh smelling coop. There had been too many chicks raised there, too much chick starter all over the floor, and way too many molts, both adult and juvenile, to let it go any longer. Now the other coops look grungy by comparison, but I ran out of steam. The dust in a coop is just astounding sometimes. Wish I could have done a better job, but we're still trying to paint the outside of our house, underside of the porch roof and the million spindles on the porch. There's only so much we have in us old folks.
Note: the clamp is on the end of the high roost because there are so many who want on that high bar that they tend to push the one on the end off. And it's usually Penny.
