MJ's little flock

[MaryJanet]

Good evening folks

MJ, I love the progress on the funrun

Thanks Bob, I'm very happy they're contained and not roaming the streets it means I'm not checking on them every ten minutes.

This is so nice! I bet the hens are loving it!

So far it's working out. Very little stress.

Good evening MJ and everyone



That turned out amazing and they look to be enjoying it already .

I was very happy when Ivy accepted my help in locating the nest box. I knew her friends would copy her and no longer need to lay eggs under bushes.

That will also work very well. Knowing that dogs and fox are issues for you I felt I had to say something.

I build everything with screws. Too often I have to take things back apart and screws come back out easily.

The heavy posts have bolts running through to join them. Seems to be a very sturdy join. And there are some house building brackets in it too. I think those brackets must be good if they're used in houses because houses must pass inspections before occupation.

There was a scandal last year when a building inspector had not been doing his work carefully. If i recall correctly he was barred from his profession and a civil case is pending. They had to go back over the buildings he'd certified and some of them needed more work to get up to the standards.

I once had my drivers licence photo taken with my towel over my shoulder because it happened to be international towel day in remembrance of Douglas Adams.

That is awesome! Good for you. I can't believe they let you do that!

That one is smart for sure! Perhaps I am biased a little though.

Sounds very well built.

I actually did not doubt that it was.

Honestly it was big deal. The vibe was "we don't care what you wear"

I think she's a very clever hen. I see her problem solving all the time.
