Two great things in life:
1. Smiles on a dog
2. Chickens having a dust bath
I went out to get Jaffar for some bachelor time, but he was having a great time just rolling in the dirt. I left him to his work.

Yep good times those!

Slight correction: son home after being gone for a year and a half, starting with basic training, then job schooling, then duty station. Long time to be away from home for first time.

Babies found a new milestone, too. 1st time more than 2 have been out at a time. The broke the outside barrier all at once.....View attachment 3536720and we're going to be gon this afternoon for family BBQ re: welcome home, kid! Adults, go babysit!

That was great!
Also, it gave me a good glimpse of your hawk deterrent strings. I remember you setting them up but don’t think I had fully understood how they worked.
I like it and it is giving me food for thought.
What height are they at? It looks like high enough that you can walk under them without decapitating yourself. Is that right?

One side of the run is at 6’ the other side is just under 5’ - I am 5’ so I just have to duck a bit when I walk on that side.

But when I am wearing my cap the brim blocks my vision and many times I and getting twine tangled in my cap hahaha

I have my mesh to put up and will do so likely this week. I will just leave the twine up and run the mesh over top of it.

Don’t you want him to be wherever he is happiest?

Of course I do. That’s why I went out to see him and the rest. There’s just too many little ones around here now.

How is he with the wee ones? Does he ignore them like Mr P does to the ones here??
