One day I'll have my rainwater catch system designed and installed. But I need to learn a lot more about pumps and floats... Learning how to operate the equipment to Make/clean up swales and ponds... I live on the side of a mountain, so I can gravity feed water down below the barn, but in the end I need my primary storage to be up top, so I can gravity feed to my pastures. I have a friend with a half dozen 1 acre ponds about 200' down from the top to catch winter run off and spring rains. As you follow his roads, he's got a 5 gallon bucket buried about every 100 yards with a T, on/off valve and quick disconnect.

Carrying 5 gallon buckets up hill is not fun...

We bought water today it wasn't too expensive but hopefully we don't have to do that much. Do yous get much rain?

Update on my garden/plants:
Trimmed our fruit trees back and gave them some love. So far I know we have Lemons, Limes and Bananas out of our 5 fruit trees. Really starting to embrace the acreage life.

Update on my pullets and cockerels roosting at night:
They still haven't worked out where they roost for the night. I was going to let them out to look around today but I thought if they run off im not confident they will return to sleep yet. So until they roost successfully at night then ill leave them in the coop.

Ohhh hope you are feeling better soon. Its the season for it. We had 10 people call in sick on Monday we were so short staffed it wasn't funny.

And your flock is happy and healthy thats the main thing. I just woke up and I think my partner is playing with the chickens already.

Do you have other pets?

We have our chickens, one cat, and two little fish

My notifications keep getting broken so I missed a little but I’m glad your chickens are learning how to roost and walk up the ramp!

I have created a new thread 2.0
Hopefully this will help with the notifications.
