Takes years of training to get me to understand what they want!Now I wish I had a rooster. Or that Abigail would do that.
It's just over 13" and butts right up to wall no space, it's a single platform all the way around. And it's 32" high, I kept the steps I originally had and they all use the steps to get up and down, but most just hop down.What depth did you end up making the roosting platform? 14 inches front to back? If there’s a gap, what is it front to back wall?
What am I missing??!!!!!Answers tomorrow when I can see straight. Whatever nasty thing I got hasn’t quite finished with me yet, and today’s road trip took every ounce of strength.
It’s quite easy actually. I buy a frozen cheese crust pizza, add my own mushrooms, onions, bell peppers, pepperoni and lots more cheese. Makes a perfect pizza!Ill share it with you![]()
Nothing - just I need to lay on the bed and can’t answer Chicory’s questions properly tonight. Just too tired ‘cos of being so sick this week.What am I missing??!!!!!
I have to go back and read![]()

The run is adjacent to a very large (decrepit but large) barn, and the covered part of the run (roughly 1/2 the barn in length) both dump the rain into that part of the run. We got over 5" of rain, and the part near the gate can't get too deep or we can't open the gate. I have used wood chips for a couple of years now, and do essentially deep litter method in the run. The wood chips on that part of the run was the end of the 'old pile', so were already partially decomposed. The 'fresh' wood chips I just added when I cleaned out some of the 'muck' was from the new load we got last summer, and so other than the fact that we are nearing the bottom of the pile...these are still quite fine. Each spring/summer I clean out roughly 80% of it and add new chips, and, to keep it 'fresh' I put shavings (and leaves in season) on top. This area I do have to skim off some and replenish so I can still open the gate - so it can never get very deep there. However, it was a sopping mess with so much rain - it usually isn't that bad...and is fine within a day, but with triple the area's water being dumped onto it...so, over 5" X3, it needed to be mucked out...and that is the area under the pine, so it doesn't get good sun to help dry it out. Eventually, I want to put up gutters and use rain barrels...but with the eaves 30+ feet up, and other things on the list ahead of that...well, you get the picture.This is interesting, can you elaborate? I know that some people on BYC use aged ramial wood chips in their uncovered runs, which would include leaves from the tree-trimmers to begin with. They don't muck it out but let it build and become soil-like as it breaks down. It's also suggested when folks ask about fixing a muddy run. It helps to keep everyone off the wet below. This does not include hay or straw though, which I heard can easily get moldy.
Such a beautiful golden color.Tuesday Twofers from Foxy and sun-bathing Meimei

It's more important to spend time with them than us.Sorry for not being as active! But lately it’s been sooo nice out, and I’ve been hanging out with them more.

Our first batch of chicks have also left the brooder! They are doing very well, but have found a habit of roosting next to Millie on the ladder… she told me she’s not ready to be a mom of five, yet have babies bigger than her… poor Millie View attachment 3481488

Yesterday we got a new batch of chicks! 2 polish, 3 frizzles, and 2 d’Uccles (all different colors). Here’s a photo of one polish chick! I am tempted to name her Nugget jr…View attachment 3481491
