Very pretty Jeannie

Thanks, Bob. I think she is gorgeous. Not that I'm biased or anything...

Thank you
Here is the new roosting area.. 16 feet of roosts... and the new nests only area.. the “doorway” is kinda large so I may put a curtain.. or not.. I can also leave the swing door open during the summer when it’s so hot.. options View attachment 1729717View attachment 1729718View attachment 1729719View attachment 1729720

That is very nice! There is room for a lot of chickens there with 16 feet of roosts

That’s the idea ... I think hubs is on to me
But the gals ain’t diggin it! Having a fit as to why things look SO different... not! I put a fake egg in one of the new nest boxes to entice them ... I have a feeling they are gonna pile in around the nests to sleep tonight as that is where their old roost were ... hopefully not! I might actually block that whole area off for the night that way they don’t have a choice but to sleep on the new roosts.

They are creatures of habit ~ & I thought cats were bad! The spac attack my lot are throwing about moving house is unbelievable ~ especially as the accommodation is sooo much better in the new place!

Oh so true!! Goes to show you.. if we’re honest.. all the fancy housing we give them is really for us

BTW, Jeannie, thanks for the kudos in that volatile thread. I view things as it's not my job to judge but rather to offer constructive advice. Often times people want to judge.

My pleasure. As one of the wooses I appreciate helpful advice that lets me work through a process in a way I can deal with rather than a * man up * attitude that comes from hunting & fishing & generally being more used to dealing with these issues. I thought your comment was the most helpful on the whole thread & really appreciated your wisdom.

Not last time I checked. It was on euthanizing a chicken peacefully.
