Handsome, isn't he?

Absolutely! Out of 25 birds in 13 years the 4 Dom hens we had were super! We aren't zoned for roos though so I appreciate pics and stories about other owners' Dom roos or hens

I wish I had Dom hens! They look so cute, like barred rocks with little rose combs. So sorry you aren't zoned
for roos. Some of them can turn out to be some amazing gentlemen.

Yover got good infrastructure in place now. Just mount a couple (maybe one in each henhouse and the summer house). Across corners is good, but where depends upon what shape you end up with.

I have some awesome willow branches that would be great.

It's 12.09 pm here

Have a good day and I hope you have finally finished the hay stacking in the barn

Last years hay is all moved, this years hay has yet to be brought over to my barn. I need to check it first to make sure it’s ok for my horses.

With all the rain here this summer I need to make sure it isn’t fausty.

I have a more serious issue with the barn roof leaking. It has caused water to get onto the ceiling of my feedroom/office.

This means I need to take the ceiling down and all the vapour barrier and insulation. Also need to remove the nails in the roof steel and replace with screws and new rubber washers to keep the water out. I will see if I can borrow the ‘tie off harnesses’ from work - I don’t like working on the roof, at my age a fall could be catastrophic.

I really don’t need this right now but seems I am destined to have rotten luck these days. Anyways my BIL and I will work on this over the weekend. Pray for no more rain and hopefully not hot and humid.
