Well thankfully, we're down to the 90s now

. But I have a friend in Harlan, Iowa so I know that snow is just around the corner up north! I LOVE what you've done with the walls

. But I think maybe they're gonna want a pool table and a couple of decks of cards to get them through y'all's long winter!!

Seriously though, my friend is a rural route mail carrier and it floors me how short your summers seem to be! Do you get any egg production through the winter?

Love your ladder!! Looks like it does a great job of keeping them happy.

We are having some chilly nights! Down to 40's Thanks everyone, and we will be installing the keg next week!

Grandma always said "Use what ya got and you won't go broke."

I have a lot of nesting boxes! We had this old shelf in the shop so I converted it! They only use 5 or 6 of them.

I don't know yet. This is my first year! Everyone has told me production will go down.

My theory is more boxes equals more eggs > LOL

I've been winterizing my Seattle coop, too. I covered all walls with 1/2 insullation boards and changed the poop area to sand. I cover the sand with news paper and throw out the paper each day (way less mess and smell). I also changed my 3 perches to 2x4s turned to flat side up. My birds love the new perches. Their feet are big and now they have perches that fit, no open air under their toes.
