Ribh's D'Coopage

Hi folks, I'm working on a project with Michelle and need test data badly. If you have time I would ask that each person out here create 5 users (use a name that is kindof unique to you not something like test1... )(just to pick on sour, maybe something like Sour1, sour2, etc.) and for each user create 5 breeds, please use different breed categories and don't chose the first or second breed in the list mix it up. The main form is here and there's a link after you hit submit that will take you to the breed form. I suggest copying your made up user name for the follow ons. Sorry for the painful process but that's what we get when we use free stuff.

When you fill out the first form, please select different countries/locations and change up the data. I really hope some of you will make mistakes that cause errors so I can close up those gaps.

thank you in advance. I've asked others to help me generate test data and gotten little response. With my work schedule, I have to work things when I can.

I'm catching up. Do you still need help? I will gladly do it.

Apparently that's not feasible. It was discussed @ one point but it's quite high & there needs to be a way for my heavier girls to get up. The lighter girls often fly up but the big girls need plenty of space & the ladder arrangement to make it.

It you attached the two high roosts together they could go up the ladder and walk over on the roost itself. Mine do that out onto Mal & Aurora 's extension.

Not only was it cold this morning, it was decidedly breezy.
I used an old broom handle to prop open the gate between the run & the coop & this is what happened:

Then there was the changing of the guard:

@WhoDatChick is right: chickens be crazy!
As that's Aoife I suspect her of ulterior motives. It's only a hop, step & a jump onto the fence, & out & away! ​

Looks like a roost to me. Why would you be surprised?

My low trimming of the Black Thorn bush seems to have met with chicken approval. I'm going to try and get the low branches off the one behind tomorrow. They look like they will become Tribe 1's official bushes.

Excellent cover and cool shade. Very nice. Good job.

I did some trimming on my massive butterfly bush to help them out as well.

That's a peaceful looking sunrise. I can almost hear the silence.....


.....if that makes any sense....

That is exactly the same feeling I had looking at it. I understand completely.

Thank you. It happens. They had good lives & were very happy hens.

Thats what counts!

Interesting you should suggest this as the man brought it up out of the blue this morning. He thinks 13 birds on that top roost is insane! Too true! Now his brains ticking the problem over I may eventually see a result. My Campines are more than capable of flying up too.
