A Modern Hen in Paris

@ManueB I think this is more in line with your version of a French hen.

Hope you are doing okay - it is pretty bad in many places in Cali! I don't know where 'bouts you and @micstrachan are in Cali, but hope you both are okay!

I’m busy loading two of each animal kind in my house at the moment. But this has to stop!

I love the floodlights. They are very handy

Yep esp for scaring the begeebers out of me going to the barn! When the lights flash on while I am walking up there hahaha!

Thanks! So far, so good at my house. I have a ridiculous tarp situation around the chicken area, but it’s pretty effective.

LOTS of mudslides and fallen trees around us, but we’ve done ok (fortunate to be on mostly flat property with hillside just on one side).

The good news is there was no frost on either of the widows this morning. I don't think I have a moisture problem in the Cluckle Hut. I'll check again tomorrow morning.

Chickens can see in the infrared and ultraviolet spectrum.

This is for @RoyalChick here is a study on the vision of chickens.

Thank you - saved me from searching!

Sheesh! U mean I am torturing my chickens?!!! Yea gads!

No. The light spectrum the cameras emit doesn't light it up like daylight. It just provides enough light they can use, so Marty isn't throwing her self off into the pitch black abyss. She can see her landing.
