Good morning
There's not much to say this morning. Last night Janet allowed the youngsters to roost up on level 4, which was good of her. Mary and Sandy were again at opposite ends of the level 2 roost, Janet was on level 3.
I bought another dine a chook feeder yesterday. The design confounds the pigeons so these work well as yard feeders. I think it's time I provided two yard feeders. More for my own convenience than anything else. There should be fewer refills. I'll be wanting more feeders one day if the flock ever grows to 9-12 hens, so it's all good.
I've been thinking about applying to the council for permission to build the big henhouse. I don't have the time to draught the design, so I'm going to have to get someone to do it for me. The permission takes months to come through so the sooner I get this project underway, the better. I'm aiming to have it finished in 2023 when the next three youngsters will join us.
I've also taken a pause to reconsider the wisdom of building. I may end up buying a big coop off the shelf instead. It's a shame there are no professional coop builders in South Australia. I'm thinking of the guys who build the Carolina Coops.
that's 15.7 inches.
