What did you do with your flock today?

@kurby22 my daughter introduced me to Instagram...I had a cool, comfy day inside laughing at animal videos on it 🤣 I did mop the floors and cook...but that's about it today:cool:

@Luv Ducks
It was a silly chicken raised by a duck that swims

@TropicalBabies

Hope you get that puppy! Any sign that your granola problem is moving on?

Thanks for letting me know what the video was of. I appreciated that.
 
Well...I got back to work on my coop today. My oldest usually helps me with building projects when I need it and she was too busy over the weekend. So I decided to just mess around today and see if I could figure out a way to do it alone. I ended up using a breaker bar propped over a rock....I sat on the bar and bounced til it lifted enough...and sitting on it had me low enough to pop bricks under. 🤣 It's still ugly...but it's straight now! Well...almost 😃.

Here's the straightened front.

The front bottom edge showing how bad the frame is there and then with the beginning of the new brick frame I'm trying to put in there.

And piles and piles of the remains of the pallet wood coop I had inside of there. It was tiny and airy...like all my coops. Just a place to lay eggs or sleep out of the wind if they want. With our weather, a shady run feels more important then the coop. It was almost the exact same design as the blue and black one I just finished...only made from pallet wood and a little bigger.

Think I can reuse some of this wood.

And some of this once I've pulled it apart

And this is the for sure garbage wood pile so far

My poor garden is a mess til I get this done! Did I mention I have no building skills and just fake it? 🤣

Lookin good to me!
Much better than my fakin!!!!
DH got tired of my fakin and went n bought new wood to make the 2nd raised bed for pumpkins and fall veges!
Now I got a stash of pallet wood...what to do what to do!?!
Lol he'll kill me if I do anything ugly with it!
 
We added to our little village today! I’m so happy and excited!!! We got a couple White Call ducks and one ducklings (only white duckling she had left) and 2 silver ducklings, and 2 either miniature appleyards ducks or they are snowy ducks (she was told snowy when she got the parents but is almost positive they are miniature appleyards because of their body shape), and one is a grey call. We took pictures of the littles ones when we got them home cause they all had to ride in one tote together and the older ones were trampling the littles. So got them home fast…luckily is only a 20min drive

I guess in a sense I'm lucky that way...my hubby's been banished from any kind of building or repair work because his results are so messy. He hires people for anything important, everything else I can play freely on. He knows if he doesn't like my results...the solution is to hire someone. Boy it's made him appreciative of my work! I'm the one who looks and wishes it looked better...he cares mostly about how cheaply it was done.

Will love hearing what you do with your pallets!
