I have Sevin dust for the garden, but have heard you can make a liquid with the powder and paint that too. Is that what you did? If so, can you give me any more info on how much powder to how much water? I would like to paint the roosts tonight.
I have the Sevin dust, that I use in the garden and on my rabbits, and have heard you can make the paint/paste as well, but the Sevin Dust powder is only 5% Carbaryl (bug killer), and I just happened to be at HD, and read the label of the Sevin Concentrate and it is 22.5%, so I took the Tim "the Tool Man" Taylor approach of the "Sevin 22,500" and painted that sh...tuff on there.

Now I will have to re-evaluate after a couple weeks since my Mr. Rabbit decided to lick it off the wall.

Hmmm.. the bottles I buy come with a different warning!!

AWESOME.

@CarolynF --

Chicken wire, burried, will deter diggers. They dont like the way the wire snags their claws, so they stop. I have used chicken wire as a way to stop diggers from getting in/out. But chicken wire as a 'cage', will keep feathers on one side, and .. well .. feathers on the other Fur -- goes where it wants to through chicken wire.

I notice several new posts about chicken nipple watering systems.

Is it just me, or does it feel very strange to go into a store and ask for chicken nipples. Just sayin....

I'd rather die. I sought them endlessly until Reber Ranch started carrying nice ones. They're $2.99 each and well worth it not to have to ask at a bigger store, "Where can I find chicken nipples?"

Oh yeah I saw them there

So -- here's my version of the willow arbor:

Standing on my patio looking up at the shop, and beyond that the Henitenitary.



About half way between house and "The Yard". The raised garden boxes are new this year. Made from recycled pallets and other lumber.



This shot is taken from the same point of view in my garden, as the point of view in the example I posted. I'm standing "in" the garden, facing the shop/house.



Second View - more house, less shop. From this view you can see the small deck off the master suite. I've posted photos that were taken from that balcony.



The Arbor - one day's "shiny object" (don't ask)



My version of the egg color wheel



And finally -- two days worth




OH -- click the pictures for a close up

It is less strange and the voice of experience tells me it is far less embarrassing to ask for chicken nipples than if you absent mindedly leave out the word chicken.

I will get the pics of my chicken run to show a proper apron as soon as my kids finish eating their dinner.
