That’ll be fun to see! Do you know what they’ll look like?

Someone told me I can expect muffs and it may have been feathered feet... I would have to find the post again! To be certain...

Nice wide holes in the roof netting helps it not collapse. Go out, grab it, and shake it occasionally when it's snowing no matter what the size.

I use straw in the runs. It controls the mud fine if you put the proper amount down. I just put down 4 and a half bales in an open 15x35 run. It will last about 4 months for me. The ground has built up over the years and doesn't flood as bad now.

Bark is the best for large open runs. It lasts longest. Hubby won't let me get that much hog fuel delivered though.

They have mulch free if you pick it up from the Lacey transfer station. We’re taking the truck over tomorrow.

I’m sick of the rain already, and it’s only November. It seems much worse than usual. The run is super muddy, so I’m trying to figure out what to do about that. The muddy run thread was really helpful. I’d hoped the grass would stick around but it’s GONE. Ugh.

I finally picked back up a sewing project I’ve been procrastinating for two years because I’m intimidated. I’m making insulated curtains for my living room and dining room. I started in the guest room so I’d get good practice and learn my lessons, and I’m glad I did! They came out well even though I made mistakes. They took about eight hours per panel, though. Since I have to make eight more panels I guess it’s good we’ve canceled our thanksgiving plans...

I've done drapes a few times...such a pain, but they can last a lifetime. The first ones are the hardest, once you find your pace the rest will come together quicker.

It is a beautiful sunny day for once. I have been bringing out the chicks (about 8-9 weeks old now) out for free-range practice with Pru, my hen when the weather is (rarely) decent. I do things in the yard for about an hour and supervise, Pru is so happy to have a flock again. She is finally not grabbing the chick's food and I have seen them eating and sleeping together. Integration has taken awhile but it is working out. Yay!
