Today I got the excess foam insulation off the new coop and painted over it, looks much better. Cleaned out the stall to temporarily house the new Light Sussex I bought today. Two big loads of good stuff, one for the garden and one for the gulch. We have erosion issues there, so I am trying to fill with stuff to encourage plant growth. Took silkie pictures, they turned out pretty crappy, they refuse to sit still so most shots were blurry. I am going to have to go in there at night when they are sleepy. Painted lumber for the quail breeder pen. I figured out where I want to put it, so once I get the bottom made, I will build the rest of it on site. It will be near our original chicken coop, behind the house. I have to cut some brush, but it is not too steep there and I go down to feed and water chickens nearby, so it is on the feed route. Mailed two boxes of eggs, picked up the new chickens, got them settled in. Winter is on its way, I need a building blitz to happen! I want to close in the lean to area near the garage for young birds . Right now I have brooders there, but I want to move them into the barn. I need to finish the insulated room and install the sink and cabinet. Plus I am building boxes to surround the water heaters so the birds don't poop in their water this winter. I hate breaking ice! I hope fall lasts into December!
