MJ's little flock

[MaryJanet]

It's not trivial. Good tea helps to set a good mood.

I was trying to say 'at least I have tea' and be mindful of my privileges. So many people haveso little.

This going to be a wonderful space for them. I'm so excited for them!

Me too! They seem quite content and they have chosen spaces that feel safe.

Looking forward to the rest of the wire going up on Monday, weather permitting

Very. I'm very satisfied with the dimensions. I'm confident it will comfortably house 8-12 hens, which is my long trrm goal.

I'm also very satisfied with the craftsmanship which is sturdy without being too fussy.

The wire is far stronger than I realised. No fox or dog will be able to tear it off.

I like the way the uprights are placed so they make square shapes between them. There are 8 generous squares and 1 at a time will grow veg.

I think the top left square will be where I eventually put the roosting box. For now, they'll go back and forth mornings and nights so they can roost in the foxproof coop as usual.

I think I'll use the same wire under the paved apron. I'll poke a sheet under the wall, bend it up on the indide and nail it to the lower rail. Then it will make a skirt under the pavers.

It may just be a turn of the phrase but you should use screws, not nails. Nails can be pulled out by dogs for example.

Good point. Actually I was thinking of sandwiching it between a second rail.

I'd gladly pay more.

Yes, I’m partial to the ABC. I don’t want their assets sold off!

All tuckered out after a big day of moving house.

The hens are moved in properly now!

We put most of their important things in the run.

Ivy has found the nest box. Janet is taking a bath. Mary and Peggy are in a cuddle puddle, under the table and behind the tree stumps.

Everyone has taken a snack and a sip of water.

That is great MJ. They look happy with it and I look forward to the ‘decorating’ pictures (plants etc).
Did you fix the door issue?

 

[Aussie-Chookmum]

So do I. I just worked my way through some weak stuff. I still have some with lemon in it somehow that I need to use up.

I'm glad you guys can't see my tea collection. Some of it is pretty old...

I’m looking forward to reading their dialogue about their thoughts on the new fun run!

I prefer tea strong too. I drank earl grey for a lomg time before deciding a good builders was just right. Orange pekoe is yummy too.

Pardon my ignorance, what is "a good builders" tea?
