Good morning Cappy Have a great Sunday

the day is getting better, winds are slowing down I think and in the 60s

So thats where all this wind came from Tsk tsk

How big of holes are you making?

Simple awnings on the outside will keep rain out. Remember seeing awnings over doorways to businesses and on older homes? Yup they don't have to be fancy to work well.
A SUPER quick visual just so you can see what I am talking about.

Wrong link!! Hang on!

Thinking metal shelf brackets on the sides and wood not plastic would be inexpensive and quick.

No bigger than 2”. We bought a set so I have choices. I do remember awnings but never thought of them for this application. Great idea! I might even have some brackets laying around or get some at the restore. I havent been in there since last year.
Things arent looking great in our area right now, much like the rest of the country. People are panic shopping again
hubs forgot toilet paper
We’re on our last roll and he just went to the store

Things are nutty here too. Lots of empty shelves here again/still.

With just 2" holes you could use pallet wood pretty easily to make simple yet cute awnings.

Good afternoon ya'll, it was in the 50's outside but I swear it looked colder!
Im having internet browser problems, I finally gave in to the phone and used samsung's browser and it was good for a few months but today it just went downhill fast.
The thing loads a search but goes unresponsive so im using chrome,which I HATE already.

Good morning Chicky have a great Sunday and stay warm. We have rain and winds at 16mph

Good morning Chicky, have a great day and stay warm.

Good evening folks!

I found someone to help out with butchering chickens this coming Saturday! Hopefully we can get most of my excess culls. That will be 30ish birds, I hope. Cutting my feed bill in about half I think. Woot!

Yes, and since it wasn't at a swap , I didn't buy anything!

Well I told ya'll my 4 month old "babies" just started roosting a couple of days ago.
They still don't roost with the bigs, plenty of room but no attempts so far since they are pretty terrified of them.
About half are hard moulting so I sort of understand the pissy attitude on one side and horror on the other.
Anyways, I watched them roost and Spunky either can't or won't, she tried though so im going to have to figure out something for her.
She sleeps on top of the baby pen with Homer who can roost but dosent, given how hard she sleeps that might be best.
Ohhh, and the rain has driven a clan of deer mice into the coop, little squeakers ran around my feet at lockup.
They didn't pick the safest of places to camp in at all lol.
