suposedly but there isnt anything by my area... there are coyotes, suppose to be weasels but never seen one........mostly just raptors is the big worry here....... I went to go let the girls out one time and looked up and saw two bald eagles circling above my coop area I thought nope not today lol 

Can you get older, used fish nets? Maybe cheap or throwaways from too many tears? Maybe use those for top of tractor run? Just an idea for cutting back weight...

Biggest Orp? Huh, never looked for that... Nice ramp!! We just tore a ramp off our front deck and built stairs, lol... Jim kept busting his butt on it when it got icy... good idea for the brass... hey, I forgot, do you have predator issues on Whidbey? Other than raptors?

I am not overly fond of that entry door the screen door kinda makes it feel crowded on it when going on and off but the ramp might help with that... marks supose to do hand rails on the other steps....

I was going to use hardware cloth I have enough to do it I think left over from doing my coop..........hmm I will have to save another big ole plastic mayo jar for a waterer to use in the tractor... too bad the price of pvc has gone up so much or I could use that and it would be super light weight...

Not yet, I foegot... Jim is off for next 3 days, so should be getting more done, and will take pics for ya... the only pic I took lately was that load of hay in my van, which was a HUGE mistake btw... I am allergic to Tennessee and what did I do but close myself in with 10 bales of pasture hay??? Allergies are kicking my butt right now, lol...
The guy Jim bought my redwood incubator from just offered him a sweet deal, a 3 tray hatcher, 2 6ft long fiberglass brooders, 4 small ones and assorted other accessories for $200, so going to pick those up too... will be redoing my brooder house and will take pics... gotta get these little ones outta the house, lol...

are you doing the same size coop as you did before @RavynFallen ? are you like doing a buncha small coops for different breeds is that the goal?

 

[Ravynscroft]

@tntchix Congrats! Sorry I missed it too! Yay!

@Amberjem yep, several separate pens and coops to keep the breeds pure. I have a mixed layer pen and will mix some of the others, but I want to be able to have my purebreds too.
