Ribh's D'Coopage

Evening folks

for portable feed storage, a 5 gal bucket with omni lid works well and holds 25 pounds, an artillery ammo can is also water and air tight and holds up to 35 pounds.

If you're not building for a few years, have you thought about planting a large native tree or shrub to the north of where you want your coop to go?

I didn't mean planting a mature tree...I mean planting tube stock and letting it grow, because natives tend to be fast growers, especially if they are indigenous to your area

I haven't worked out the point of Pinterest yet...
And this is the first time I've bought anything on Etsy but I really wanted chookie buttons for the girl & they had these & they will be perfect for her rug. The wool is called *Fairy Mix* & it's quite bright in jewel colours ~ Ill post a pic eventually. The girl will adore it! Plus I'm crocheting her chookie coasters as well. She'll have quite the chook fest...

What colour does Janet lay @MaryJanet ?

@Aussie-Chookmum she's not true to type, so her eggs aren't dark brown. Here's a photo of a few recent eggies. Janet's two on the left and two of Sandy's on the right.

Sandy's eggs never have a bloom on them, quite chalky. Janet's always bloom.
