Helpful hints for building coops

[CapricornFarm]

I didn't do any building today, as I wasn't feeling well. Tomorrow I will be off to Glen Allen for the big swap!

Cappy, I hope your sales offset your purchases
I got the dryer vent all cleaned and re-assembled. Now I can focus on putting in the new tall toilet.

Found a damnnear dead mouse in the coop bedding this morning. Have seen some sign, need to set up chicken safe traps. So they must have caught it, there were some wounds, but didn't eat it<scratcheshead> Tossed it out into the run and they still won't eat it.

yep, chickens are funny that way. they either fight over a mouse, or just walk over it.

It was a busy day. I had 2 hours of sleep last night. Even the dog was tired!

I did sell a lot though, and I made some contacts for future sales.

I didn't buy much, one cage and three feeders. I did swap two chicks for 2 chickens.

Today I was up early and off to the Cardiologist. Stress test next week.
This afternoon I worked on parts for the fourth wall of the run. The cochins were busy watching to see what I was up to. This side is going to take the most time because I am not using a dog kennel panel, and I am putting a door in.

Good luck with the Cardio. Perhaps you shouldn't mention the coop build.....

It is coming along. I cut quite a few boards, and assembled the frame. The bugs were biting something awful!
