MJ's little flock

[MaryJanet]

Good evening folks

Love the progress MJ

Good evening everyone

Its taking shape MJ ❤

When they're working, they get loads done. I don't think there's much more to do. A few more rails, then cover it with mesh and make and hang the doors. Three days maybe? But I don't think they should be working outside with temperatures up around 40C (100F), so I'm glad we made that call.

How have you two been lately?

Good morning MJ Your right about not working in those temperatures !

Not much happening here, Bob works everyday and I go for short walks most days, if it's not too cold. I go check for eggs and read or paint on my Kindle and of course house work.

Are you enjoying your time off ?

Sounds lovely!

I've been really enjoying it! Although I was a little naughty and worked on one writing project but that's done now.

Once the chicken run is paid for, I'll see if my savings stretch to converting the small bedroom into a study. It would be nice to have that done before February too.

Here's today's progress photo. It's really taking shape. The weather here is going to be hot until Wednesday so work is paused until then. Very sensible.

Are you going to plant shrubs and stuff in there MJ?

 

[Shadrach]

Wanting to buy stuff I don't need or not being able to ride a bike?

Not being able to ride a bike. I just assume it's something everyone has done.

All sorts Shad. It'll be a garden one day. In the meantime the little coop and old tables will be in there for shade and a misting system will be installed for cooling. In particular, I'm thinking about three clusters of bushes. One cluster of these I think they'll struggle to get beyond 2m in our soil, and that's perfect. And a couple of other clusters but I haven't chosen which shrubs yet.

Also the hens will only be confined in the run when I'm not home and I'm home a lot.

That would be nice to change the room before you go back to work

It's been on the list for a long time too. I'd like to get it done. It's the last of the rooms to be finished. All the others are more or less done except for a few small tricky jobs.

I realized with this that I too operate under the assumption that everyone can ride a bike. We should not do that.

You run your flock the way I do mine. The Coop Complex is really only limiting when I'm not here for them to free range or the ground is covered in snow and they choose to remain in the complex.
