Good evening folks

Hope you're feeling a little better today Bob.

It's awful wet weather this evening. Constant rain. The hens went to bed early.

I wonder if we’ll get your rain in a few days.

Today I bought a water fountain for Blossom. The cheap one from kmart. It's very quiet.

She took a good look at it but hasn't yet tried a sniff.

Please keep us posted on whether she uses it. Here's hoping

After our discussion about your coop I double checked & it looks dry & snug.

So far she has only sniffed it that I'm aware of, but that's a step along from looking at it, so perhaps she'll try a sip soon.

After our discussion about your coop I double checked & it looks dry & snug.

As far as I can tell, it was dry except for a little way in around the mesh, maybe 5cm. The roosts were absolutely dry. The rain was from the NW. Which is the back right corner of the coop.

Is the brand known for letting water in? It wasn't easy to put the roof together and I got it wrong at one point and had to reverse a couple of steps. Then I used many screws attaching the roof panels to the frame. I had to go back and fetch the piece that caps the gable seam from the manufacturer because it wasn't in the original package. So I'd understand if others have had trouble with the roof.

My friends are helping out with the weeding.
