Good morning DH starts a four hour interview in about an hour. I am trying not to think about it much, and failing apparently. I am plotting my chicken setup at the moment and clearing space in the house. My step son is supposedly vacating the guest house to move in with his friends. All I can think is, "yes! Chicken space!!" We will miss him, he's a fun kid, but hasn't been staying here much anyway. He stays maybe twice a week, it seems silly at this point for him to have the guest house. So that will be a good workshop, quarantine, and hatching area, when not in use s quarantine.

I have been eyeing a shed at Costco to convert into a coop. I think that it could be subdivided to fit four quads. Add vents and pop doors, and it would make a fairly effortless and relatively inexpensive coop (the current one cost around 2k, and we used a lot of salvaged lumber for it ) the shed is 550 and then add maybe 100 for lumber to make dividers, runs, etc. more for less I have also been toying with the pallet idea (free is good). The downside is that the amount of effort is increased a lot and my poor DH has very limited time. If he gets the job, he'll have even less time. I think I need some carpentry classes,

I am going to buy a sand pit for the girls to dust bathe. This winter does not look like it wants to let go any time soon. We have some winters that it never snows and barely dips below freezing. Others we are buried under snow, inversion, and sub zero temps. This winter has been the latter.

Pardon me for rambling for a moment. It helps me to relax a bit though.

My fictional lottery dreams usually start with the 21 acres of forest and pasture directly behind us, buying the neighbors lot and kicking them out.

Hey Clucki, tracking says your eggs are out for delivery

 

[Lilwanis]

thank you! I dream of different set ups all the time. I have been searching for farm property for years now. I keep thinking that I can retire and become a farmer, lolz. I have been daydreaming about stepping up my retirement lately. For now, I am going to reserve my planning for what is accessible now. With your lottery winnings...I am totally in for the chickens commune idea, the DH may see it differently
