I'm going to have to come up with a good name for this feisty girl. In the second pic she was preparing to start a fight with her sibling.

The Cluckle Hut

Ladies and gentlemen the Cluckle Hut is nearly ready for occupancy.

I went with an existing ramp I had for access. It allows the maximum space in the run.

I finally got the side doors to mesh.

I doubled down on security adding push latches on the inside and clip latches on the outside of the flop door.

The roost might be a little high but I wanted them to have walking space underneath it without banging their heads. If I need to lower I can.

And the water and food dispensers are ready to be filled. I'm going to put in some straw and tomorrow I will move them out.

Still left to do, purchase and install the automated door. Finalize how the main window will be permanently attached. It also needs painted.

This is fabulous! You really do great work. You know how to make good use of space, and that is important.
So what color is it going to be? The blue, or an accent color?
Can you show us a picture of the whole complex as it is now?

Just use your phone. It has a speaker. That's what I do.

Yes of course - and I just listen to the birds when I garden - but my friend has got all into WiFi speakers and the like so is trying to get me to spend money. Frankly I would rather get another camera for the coop!
I thought a chicken play list would be fun anyway.

I have to wait another two years before death certificates are available. I’m thinking about it, but I’ll see how I feel in two years.

I found him on a genealogy web site, family had blocked further access.

Have you ever put mite and lice powder in their dust bath?

No, only some special sulphur powder.

Cheetah has successfully "molested" (the boys' term) one of the "white ugly ones" (also one of the boys' terms) sapphires (Splash, I think). No eggs yet that I could find, but ....

Just use your phone. It has a speaker. That's what I do.

My girls will have to put up with my musical tastes in orchestral game soundtracks.

The little tyrant has been named Corona or Rona for short. I guess being raised with 6 brothers you have to be tough, and she is. Of her group she is the dominate chick, they've learned not to pick on her unless they want a fight. Yesterday she pinned one of her brothers to the ground and stood on him for a few seconds.

Are they fully licensed for driving? Do you have insurance for chickens driving a Lexus? Do you limit the gas in the tank or do they have a card and know how to refill the tank?

They have a license to poop and they don’t drive, because their legs are to short to reach the pedals
