Wow, it looks great Kelly!

I'll have to come see it in person. Maybe when I deliver the roos to you from my New Year's hatch!

You did a great job of clearing the run area. Love it!

Getting closer............Yesterday I wrapped the fencing around the post and hubby helped by installing the gate. Only a couple more small things to do and it will be finished! I have to put the screening over the storage area, put some t-posts in the run for hawk protection and install the automatic door. Today it's pouring rain, so no working on it today. Hopefully tomorrow.

Geeze oh Pete, ya mean it's STILL not finished. Where's the gin when I need it?

Joe, you're always a party pooper!

I built an extra nesting box out of the leftover plywood I had. It will be for the broody area, when I get another broody. I got the screening put over the storage area, it cost me $4 and a few staples, and some leftover scrap pieces. Easy, and it will work great.

So, all that's left:
T-posts in the run for hawk protection (not doing that in the rain Joe) - I don't cover my runs as it's 20 ft by 60 ft.
Install the auto door opener, which I'm not doing until I get the t-posts in.


That's it - all that's left. I'll update photos THIS WEEK when it's officially completed.
