What did you do with your flock today?

Today I gave my birds watermelon.

This might be one of my new favorite pictures of Beigie. Zoom in on her face.

I also measured the coop today.

Yesterday we added hardware cloth to some dog pen panels to make a bachelor pad for the call drakes to live while The Mamas hatch and raise babies in the main palace.
It isn't beautiful but it works for now. View attachment 2134482View attachment 2134483View attachment 2134484

I should be getting stuff done, but I’m wasting time watching chicken & butterfly tv. Sooo much nicer than being stuck inside, cleaning the garage.

Ive been a busy Mama today. I've pressure washed and sweeped out my Coop. and allowed everything to dry. I reloaded all the pine shavings for another mos. -Before cleaning out again. I checked my flock of 6 hens that just began to lay for mites. We built a 12x25 foot outside run for them yesterday. (My Mothers day present I wanted) No more free range. (To hard to keep my GSD in check). Sat out under an umbrella in the run and took video of them Dusting, rolling and having a good time. I ate watermelon and shared with them. I think thats enough for me in one day.

My husband just corrected my measurements of my new outside chicken run dimensions. Its 14x 50 ft.
I stand corrected! Lol.
Anyway, its a lot of room for 6 hens. But now, I dont have to constantly watch my GSD when shes outside snooping around, chasing "Squittles" on our 3 acres. I had to already train her to stay OUT of the Pond!!! Uggg. A wet & stinky long hair King Shepard is absolutely terrible when shes an inside dog. Ugg
No I do not have ducks....yet. i was advised not to because of the poop in the pond water. I just had the pond water treated for water plants that were trying to take over.
