Gave my chickens the dog house this morning. The goat out grew it years ago!! It amazes me when she would squeeze her large frame into!!
The bosses are checking it out!!

Built them this little hideout so they had a spot to keep dry when raining. Most were huddled under there till I put out the dog house.

GHC:

Those little "A" frames are also great for giving chooks a place to hide from Hawks....you could also make this...one piece of plywood....and one 2x4x8 cut into four legs attached at the corners....my two cents.....

Hopefully, they all surprise you and pop out overnight. Fingers crossed for you!

My silkie/showgirl eggs go into lockdown tomorrow. I haven't candled them in about a week now but the last time I checked, there were 7 goods ones and 1 iffy one so we'll see.

I did something similar, used plywood, but couldn't find a 2x4, so I used some pieces of landscape timbers I had lying around.

Wish I had such restraint from candling :D (well, not really. I love it)
Good luck! :fl


I have not been getting eggs from my lav orps for some time now. But I found one in the middle of the run today, in the mud! No idea how long its been there, could have easily been missed. But I cracked it open to check for fertility and it's fertile! My young cockerels are doing their job!! :D

Also have a brand new layer in my bearded cochin pen. :yesss:
 
So my turkey Wheezy is still living up to her name. She eats and drinks just fine, but she sounds terrible and and she is underweight. I figured I would try dosing her with Vitamin A. So I squeezed a capsule into some olive oil and put it in a syringe (no needle tip), and squirted in her mouth tonight. I know Vitamin A at high levels came be toxic, but I'm hoping that she is deficient and this will correct it.

When I first got our 20 year old parrot a few years back, he had an respiratory infection. Th vet gave us antibiotics, and said it was definitely because of a lack of vitamin A due to a poor diet. So with Wheezy, I'm hoping maybe a boost will help her, since the antibiotics weren't able to.

@dheltzel. You said you'd answer horticulture questions, right? :D. I'm trying to plan where to put raised beds next year for maximum sunlight, because we are surrounded by trees here. Should they just go on the south side of the home, or can I show you an aerial view and maybe you could help me determine? Btw, I'll be at my relatives house 5 minutes away from the farm next week, it's shame I don't have any chicks to pick up! :lol:
