MJ's little flock

[MaryJanet]

I made a new floor plan for Cluckerston Hall. I realised ramps with a long, gentle slope wouldn't fit so I switched to successive tree stump steps, which can be placed in curves.

The look but don't touch (LBDT) section would come into use when pullets arrive, every 2 or 3 years. Otherwise, it would be integrated with the whole complex, via the wide door beneath the roosting box. This means the LBDT tree stump "ramp" would be deconstructed, the LBDT opening to the roost closed, and the framed wire divider removed.

The roosting box would still have its exterior doors for cleaning out the bedding and saying goodnight, and removable roosting bars.

I think this works ok, except I haven't decided where to place the rainwater tank.

I'm so glad you are feeling better. Thst is very good news.

I'm hoping exhaustion is my only problem. I'll check with the doctor tomorrow. This is not the time for soldiering on.

I'm not entirely healthy folks. Bear with me, I may not be able to keep up everything.

Please take some sick days if you need them MJ. Get well soon

I'm glad you got extra rest over Easter MJ. Hope the doctor can help.

Are these two from the recent hatch?

Yup, they are Brackets offspring.

That looks like it will work. It sure will make integration easier. I love the tree stumps but why remove them. I would leave them in for entertainment purposes.
