Its coop cleaning day. I am so glad the sun is out! I need to crawl up in there after I get all the poop and shavings out. I found a few nice peices of trim wood that looks like a ladder... Only its about 2.5 inches wide... that I want to put in up high cuz they are all seeming to want to get up higher now that they are bigger. My silkies and favs are happy to sit down lower... My silkies actually started roosting on the window seat I put in so they could look out the winder. SO ALL of them could look out the winder. Well, that makes me happy. If I get the time, I might try and get the other window cut in today. I have seelant and trim that would finish it up nice. I don't know. I was thinking I might like to make the underrun extend out a few feet at the one end... I was thinking I might take the old dog house coop and turn it into a feeder station to keep the water and feed in... The water seems to be disappearing at a phenomanal rate! I usually only fill the waterers every few days as I have 3 stationed thru the yard. Well, the big one was completely empty last night. I mean there was still water in the tray part, but the waterer was otherwise empty. I am thinking that the neighboring wilds are enjoying the fresh water from it. The waterer that are closer to the house, they don't seem to have the problem, and they are smaller so should empty faster than the big one. The dog house coop has a hinge lid, so here's what I was thinking... I'd attach it to the underrun so the chooks could go in and out there, and I could still get the feeders out thru the top, and then put the run door on the other end that would add 8 more square feet for them to enjoy, while they wait so patiently(SP?) for me to set them free. Only I was thinking that I'd make that end a Chicken Sun Room. LOL. See, the people who had this house before me had new window put in, and I found all the old storm windows in the nook under the stair in the furnace room. Gonna give them a new purpose... good idea?
