likewise has been pouring here all day
DH, bless his heart, went out, put another tarp over the run, let the chicks out of the coop -- I told him it would be muddy BUT they can hang on on top of the platform/pallet where we keep the feed and water ... and in a little while if it eases off, I'll go pull them some fresh dandelion and "fuzzy nasty velcro-ey" weed ... both of which they dearly love
am so glad they like this weed, it is a PEST ! will have to look it up to see what the actual name is, started showing up in the NW about five years ago or so
Bedstraw, I'll bet: glad to hear they like it, because that's what I'm setting the SSH's after when I get the hoop house up. Which is after we get a door on the old dog run, because to hades and gehenna with covering 120 sq ft of hoop house when it's raining mules. So the Pheasant Fowl are getting what I was planning to use, eventually, for a couple of nice pheasants: the old soft-frame dog run, with some of the storm damage apple limbs for props/perches. We're actually about 80% done on that job (having started at 10:30), some things are easier than others!
(MUCH LATER after interruptions and et'c)
Today, Ian is a man: he wore out his vocal chords crowing while we were working.
I also figured out the Big Thing which is wrong with my project: aint none of these folks ever worked with my father, except me.
