Hahaha too funny, have the same issue with the horses, they would rather drink from a puddle in the paddock than walk up to the barn and drink from the nice clean water trough...

Old Nellie says I am not going out there, it's cold!

What is that at the back of her head, that red patch? Or is it something behind her?

@BY Bob, I am so glad you are starting to turn the corner...hope you keep improving. Hope also that, though physically taxing, it was emotionally gratifying to be with your girls for a bit.

@RoyalChick seems like you are on the mend, being able to eat - I am sure you are aware that heavy, greasy/fatty foods aren't the best after what you went through, so limit those meal worms

@featherhead007 please follow Dr. orders. somehow you seem to only sort-of-kinda follow them. We like having you around reading your puns, so take care of yourself! Your chooks need you, and we need your levity.

A manure colored hen. That's a new one.

I'm going to get you better glasses, princess is usually looking like a walking poo. She's getting like it again rolling in the mud like a hippo

It is always easy to be wise in hindsight, MJ. Sandy had a wonderful life with you. Out of all the places she could have landed she landed with you & was much loved & cared for.

Thanks Ribh. I tried my best but I didn't have enough knowledge.

Experience makes us wiser. What would be the point of the proverbial 'wise man' if we already knew everything? Hard lessons are the ones we remember...and learn the most from.

How do the omlet roosting bars compare to one long roost? Can the hens easily grasp the omlet bars? They look a bit too close together to me but I've never seen it up close.

OK sorry no pictures of the Buckeyes standing on the Omlet roost bars, but I did measure them (This pic is the bars on storage bins.) The gang spent all their time out and about in both runs, scratching and whatnot, had no interest in visiting when I opened the coop back to clean, and when I went skiing they were beginning what must have been a pretty wild dustbath party because everything in the vicinity of the dirt/ash/peat/rocks/sand pool is now coated with dust.
The platform is 30" deep, and each bar is approx. 1 1/8 inch wide, and each space between a squinch smaller, like 1 inch wide. Two bars and a space make about 3 inches. (Great old ruler, was my mom's. The "Phone" number just says "150")

It was nice to leave the couch. I haven't for days.
