Yes I got it all RE-assembled, got the roof on. Now just waiting for you to come build the nest boxes.

I started the nest boxes today and was planning to finish tomorrow but DW said she would like to go to her family gathering so guess I won't get much time until monday. Once the nest boxes are done I will install the tinted privacy windows. And then comes the fun swaping out the netting on my LF run and making the RIR run. I'm thinking the swap will be a night job since the LF will all be able to make a break for it when I take the netting off.
I did have a very big problem today. There was this big bright light shining in my eyes. !!!

I'm tired

scooped most of the old impacted hay and evergreen needles out of one of the ore boxes which will be the perimeter of the chicken run --- think eight feet long, 2 feet wide, 3 feet deep, half-inch painted plywood with the interior coated in resin .... it was completely filled with water, mud, and old dead stuff interspersed with roots

so, two completely emptied and scooted over to the coop, this one mostly done --- one large lump of impacted old roots that I can't lift until it dries out a bit more

then two more of them, still mostly full of mud and dead leaves and needles and ROT --- maybe the rain will hold off long enough for us to finish that job

had the bright idea ???? of planting blackberries and roses in them, once I attach the coop fencing to their inner borders, think that would discourage most of the predators around here

at least I can plant flowers and so forth in them, once I get them in place I can refill them with the compost, can also use them to bury the chicken waste I scoop off the sand floor of the coop

the chicks were just loving the earthworms I pulled out of the muck /// have one lawn cart completely full, starting on a second wheelbarrow

then I was just too tired, so pulled out the chaise longue, grabbed a pillow and a book, and lazed partly in the sun, next to the chicken tractor, watched the gals try to catch the flies and whatnot flying things .... they can jump straight up four feet to get them

How old is it? If I can have dibs, I need to try to figure out which batch of chicks to put here with.

If I'm remembering right, she should be around 7 weeks. Chickielady is that about right for the W/BW AM chicks?

These W & BW chicks pipped on March 3rd.
