Hey Y'all! Spring cleaning is certainly upon us! Today me and my dad cleaned around the goats shed and pen, got them fresh new hay and threw out the moldy hay that got wet during that bad storm. Moved things around their shed. I just got a new goat! his name is Caspien and we are breeding him with my two does for milk! Tomorrow I'm planning on uncovering the vents on our chicken coop and maybe doing the spring coop cleaning of the year ( I clean out our big coop 2 times a year, spring and fall.)

Why do you have the vents in the coop covered?

Help me because I'm stupid. Did you buy the metal on Amazon? Or a raised bed kit with the metal?

The galvanized beds were purchased on Amazon, the stand we built, then affixed the beds to.

Boo. I thought maybe I was going to find a good deal on corrugated aluminum. I need about 24 8 foot sheets.

I know! I can't find any good prices on it on Craiglist or Facebook Marketplace. It's so annoying. And once those six pens are done, I'll have to do it all over again with bigger pens for the Orpingtons.

Oh, the sacrifices we make for our chickens! (Hobby? Passion? Addiction?)
