[BlueTheBrahma]

First 21 eggs from Natasha, BCM. Not as dark as Chanel but nice speckles and round, also very shiny. Also not large but again their only young birds.
Unfortunately no more chicks (so I have three silkie hens looking after two chicks).

Yesterday we started a construction of the large chooks shed. We are using a lot of steel as a main frame . Steel is more stranger and durable . There is a lot creature in this forest love to eat wood .

Love to see before, during and after.

Steel is worry free and will last forever. So exciting. You have a lot of work ahead my friend.

We finally finished moving and rebuilding all the coops.
There are 6.
Three can be split so a potential total of 10.

Yes a lot of work for sure . I think will take me a year to finish it all . Will have about 50 pens and coops in total .

Day 2 putting the outer steel beams to support the floor.

The hardest thing is to get those long steel beans to the site through the forest. They are 9 meter long.
