So we only topped out at 50F today Was really hoping for 60F. I hope everyone's day is going well otherwise. I shut down all of the vents for the rooms we do not regularly use as well.

The coop mod is functionally "done". The silkie flock in now inside their condo in the Coop. Run divider fence is also functionally finished.

Ok I tried one of those http://veestro.com/ chicken fried steaks. I was very unimpressed. Who puts ginger or whatever in a gravy sauce? Nothing about it was right so all that freezer space is DW's. It would be more appropriate as a UN emergency ration.

Why? Just why?

Why? Just why?

They are like iguanas. You can eat them and live on them, but there are better tasting things out there.

Like Army food. Yes, you can eat it. Or not. But you do have a choice.

All,

This is a repost from last year, but a reminder and updated attachment. I have made a similar post in the Laws & Regulations Section.

As many of you are aware we have almost had a chicken bill passed in Texas for the past two legislative sessions, only for them to stall in committee or on the floor. The only way that this stops is by getting a bill started early and making it a priority for your representative. In 2019, our last legislative session the bill was held up by our representatives not wanting to give the folks in HOAs' and POAs' the same rights as those in municipalities. I have drafted the attached bill to submit to my representative, this modifies the bill that died on the floor in 2019. While this does not grant blanket rights it seems to be a compromise that most of us could live with.

To make this happen we need to have everyone contact their representative and make this an issue for them. If you are in Texas and don't know who you representative is I have included a link: https://wrm.capitol.texas.gov/home

While, some of the representatives may change in the upcoming election it is never to early to start sending these requests to them on a weekly/monthly basis. The more they hear from us the more likely they are to prioritize this issue.

Thank you!

I have added a few more tweaks to the article and finished a few more tweaks in the coop.

I also just added another tidbit to the coop & run build thread too. I made a bridge so that I don't need to use both ladders. The 2nd ladder can now be used in the run later....
