Decided not to go there after all. I have too much going on now.

I hear ya… between horses and chickens and work I don’t have time to go anywhere.

All of our chickens love you too just as we all do .

Well if it’s meant to be it will happen

Meanwhile there are the chooks and Chaco and everyone here on BYC

The barrier is only on the roost. The rest of the Hut is wide open. This just prevents Phyllis from walking down the roost and throwing them off.

Oh, I see! Great idea !

These parts we don’t bat an eyelash at naked people - unless it January of course!!!

I have seen someone in Toronto dressed like the chikita banana lady

After I was in Edmonton a few days I was outside grilling in -20 weather.

Ha! This entirely sounds like me twice a day every day.

Our run remains unfinished at the moment it needs hardware cloth on the upper half of it so atm I sit out with them in the morning and in the evening so they can sun and dust bath for at least an hr or two.

Getting them back in through the pop door though was a royal pita. Herding chickens proved far more frustrating then I thought possible then I got smart and Like you described when I see that most have gone inside to eat thats when I move to wrangle the stragglers in.

Same strategy lol

It is getting easier though they seem to be learning the routine.

This why I had them train me to give them treats

All I have to do is think ‘treats’ and they read my mind! And I have 13 jumping hopping flapping chickens looking for the treats!

So when I want them in the barn I just show them the treat bowl! And stand back while they stampede into the barn!

Oh we can turn you onto a Canadian easy in that case! A BBQ and a case of beer, some moose sausage - -20 and sunny now that’s BBQ weather!!!

Right @Lexicon ?

Thanks. Trying to keep it simple. I'm going to split the main roost in the big coop when I do the roof. I've learned the hard way that long roosts are a bad idea.

Haha! Sure, why not! I'd rather be out exercising on a sunny day like that, but a BBQ sounds good too!
