Hello from Georgetown Texas

Good morning, glad you made it over to the Texas thread!

I was out there about 4 years ago and lord there were homeless folks everywhere! I hope things are better

Yeah I hope those people are ok as well.

Yesterdays totals for 48+ of on and off rain.







That’s when I finally went to bed… got just over 3hrs sleep.
Last night in bed before 1AM, up about 7:30-ish feeling better.

Ugh got nailed today by Sultan. Not his fault really. One of my friends girls was wearing a big long over shirt w/ frills on the bottom and the wind blew it up. It looked like a rooster puffing up his neck. He kicked at her once and I stepped between and got hit the next few times.

Ok so I live in Texas and I don’t know if I should ask here but would this be something I could convert to a coop? It doesn’t really get any shade and that’s why I’m worried. I would shade the big run I enclose it with so shade cloth could run across the top of the coop. I’m just trying to be frugal but I do have some spots that get a lot of late day shade I could build from scratch on and just build everything from pallets. I am NOT bob the builder so this would also be easier lol. Oh and the shed is about 7.75 ft x 7.75 ft inside wall to wall and I’d start with a few hens at first but maybe this could fit 8 total?

I hope you are all enjoying your weekend

I'm gona say yes. It needs alot of ventilation added tho. And shade cloth is a good idea.

Keep an eye on that. Use antibiotic cream, watch for red streaks and warmth in the area. I hope you heal quickly.

Cut some windows and cover them with 1/2" hardware cloth and use plenty of shade cloth. You could put some pallets on cement block outside to help provide shade and protection from arial predators.

Yup, learned from the best! My dad was a medic in the army.
