What did you do in the garden today?

A head of lettuce or cabbage is fun, especially if you hang it. You can also make a flock block with whatever you have on hand.

Not tried hanging veg, thanks
Not sure how to make a flick block!
What size flick block? Will they squabble? How long do I hang a flick block for?

It says "where necessary erect additional housing or self-contained netted areas." so.....maybe?

 

[Wormhunter]

Well....no access to outdoors kind of seals it.
Nuts.

So agree!!
I know I want to prevent this terrible ‘flu’ but 12 weeks locked in for 7 free- ranging chookies is torture!

Do you think it needs a roof?

What does ‘where heccessary ‘ mean do you think?

There are various ways to make it, but typically add feed, vegetables, seeds, etc in with honey, and bake it or freeze it (whichever works). Hang it until it’s gone.

Does the honey hold everything together hard? Is it set honey?

The honey helps hold it together. Baking should dry it all out to form a solid block.

Passing birds can poop as they fly or sit on the tops trying to figure out how to get in. When we had to lockdown here for avian flu, we had to be covered, we are on a major flyway for migration.
