Wow! Great job!
Bad luck?She has some inherent weakness in foot or immunity then?
Me, neither!I've never seen an overgrown beak like that! Quite extraordinary.
I'd put you two to work! Looks terrific!Jeff and I get better with every coop. Might start a coop building side biz, lol. Will work for beer and food
The hen in the bin looks so funny! They must be happy the rainy days are over. Was it not a pain working in the mud ?Yesterdays selection.View attachment 3174385View attachment 3174386

One of the friendly fence hoppers. No trouble. Just picke her up and put her back over.

It looks very good. Maybe when you're finished you could send the picture to the company you bought it from as suggestions to make a better version of the coop, especially regarding the roost height! Still planning on making a window ?Got the holes for the vent slot drilled. Found my rivit gun but no rivits!
Where the holes are will be a full cut out, hardware cloth covered, rivited in place. It will look neat enough when it's finished. Plastic is rivits, or nuts and bolts for construction.
Built the base frame for the run and found wood for the doorway.

You're not a morning person, or not a long walk person? Or is it the dog ? You managed to pull off a nice bit of work during that time though. Always nice coming home.Home at last.Up to date now. These are from this evening and it stayed dry.
No more dog hair in everything. No hour long walks in the morning either.
The hens I've been hen sitting for are a sweet pair.

If only! Every day is potentially a rainy day in Blighty!the rainy days are over.
another one of those posts of yours that need a wow as well as a love! sorry to hear about the storm; sounds dreadful.We had an unforeseen storm yesterday. It didn't last for more than 30 minutes but with awful gush of wind, thunder and hail all of a sudden. Luckily Chipie had already brought the chicks in the coop. We had to pull away the hens from under the laurel tree under the hail and carry them one by one to the coop as there were branches falling everywhere, they were in a total panic.
We have lots of damage in the garden and on the property.
This morning I didn't wake up which is exceptional for me so I didn't open the coop at 5.30 but at 6. It was havoc between the hens and the little family. I noticed after they got out Chipie was bleeding in her face, she got pecked very close to her eye. I can't catch her, but it doesn't seem too bad and in the past she has always healed very well from pecks.
Rant tax :
Théo is now best friends with Nougat, who had been chasing and bullying him and Chipie since their arrival. He won her over by tidbitting!
