Have you got your birds out of the pet carrier yet?? Or did they get stuck!!
. It was numerous watching them, I got a good laugh out of them. I think I'll leave the dog crate their just so they can play with it, after the ducks lay of coarse.
Here's a few pics of the chicken tractor I'm working on. It has a 4'x8' run beneath and a 2'x8' coop on top with 1'x2'nesting boxes on the end.

Just not feeling it today. I have so much to do and just don't feel like doing anything. I am building a pen for the EE. Still need to build list is 3 small coops, 1 pen for the small coops ( not the one I am working on ) and 1 larger pen for the big coop. That is just to get up to take care of the birds I already have.
this is the pen I am working on. The pen is really 2 pens. It will be invited where the 2x6 is running in the middle. The small coop will have one more on the left side to go with the pen.

Pics!!!The chickens aren't going to notice if you take a day or two off!
I've found it helps when I have days like that to 'weed out the herd' a little. Even if it goes no further than making a list, I pick out the ones I'm not extremely attached to, any that aren't looking the way I was hoping, a few that I remind myself we are holding onto until they are big enough to go to freezer camp. We've decided we aren't keeping any of our ducks. I'm a little disappointed but they are a lot of work to keep their area clean and I've decided I want to concentrate on chickens. I have one girl who has horrible manners and jumps on us when we go into the coop with food, she's on 'the list'. I'm not a huge fan of black bibbed turken, but she's a really good layer, so I've added her to 'the list' too. We have a bantam red frazzled cochin that is so ugly she's just ugly, she's not even so ugly she's cute, she's on some sort of list but its more of a 'What in the world are we going to do with her, who would buy her' list.
