Helpful hints for building coops

there used to be several local dumps all over the county.
there was always a fire going, day and night.
We used to go at night and shoot rats. One night we were sitting on the berm when a big rat walked right between my brother and me.
In the day time we went there and shot at bottles..

Hey, how is Omlet doing lately?

I have not heard from her new owner again. I expect she's happy though.

New and improved eave baffle.
Had to add one rib at far left and one bucket at far right.

Much better than the janky cardboard I used last year.

Today I got some fencing up near Turkey Town. Hubby needs to cut down a couple of dead trees for me, so they don't fall on the fence on the other side of the trail...once I get it strung.

Today I am going to try to put up more fencing . Supposed to be a nice sunny and warm day. Slow getting started. The next day is forecast to be in the 30s.

Today was awesome! We may have broken a record! I set my pigeons up with baths & painted my deck. I'm your "neighbor" kinda, in Sussex County, Delaware, we have the same forecast. How did your fencing go today? That is on my "to do" list. Sorry to see this day end, but we had a nice sunset.

I set my pigeons up with baths

The kiddie pool has water...something floating on the surface?

Water with bath salts from Global Pigeons, and what is floating on top is actually their feather dust from molting! So it was awesome to have this odd warm Dec day, they love baths & it is great for them.

probably a raft for the birds to ride on..
this morning we made a 40 mile each way trip to Medford .. Met a guy there and bought nine cases of wine bottles. We were home before noon..
I have enough bottles for my current three batches of wine, and enough to cover one more batch if I should make some more.
Right now I am not planning any more.. but I was not planning these three batches either, so one never knows..
I opened a bottle of rhubarb from 2002.
It needed sweetening, It is very good..
only got up to about 19F today. that should make more ice for the ice fishermen. There were some on the ice yesterday..
I hope you southern ish people are enjoying your warm days.. I think ours are done until spring.. still no snow.. yay !!

We had a perfect day as far as the weather goes. I did finish up the fencing for the barnyard and used a pallet for a gate.
