What did you do with your flock today?

So, got the littles out in the garden box. Almost time for me to start prepping the top brooder for my up coming hatch with 1.5 week to go!

Been letting the boys out during the daytime (as opposed to mornings and eves) they seemed to have calmed A LOT so until they blow it I will keep trying to move forward with more (real- not imaginary) freedoms for them. It is so easy for me to love the Brahma breed.



And also... DH and I went up Koke'e to do the yard and some spring cleaning as a pal was going to stay up there and it is what we gotta do anyways. I have wanted to make a mobile coop so I can bring my chooks up for the summers because it is SOO hot and humid at home and I worry for them greatly in the summers. (sorry, mansplaining and I am not a guy) anywho, as I was spocking and dreaming about where I want to put it because now DH is getting on board and it can be an actual conversation I decided maybe I would put it at the top of our slope, makes sense right?
But look at this cute BARELY used storage hut. Wouldn't it make the most perfect coop ever?!!! Have not been able to get DH on board.

Isn't it just screaming chicken coop. I can not believe I did not think of it b4. Well, maybe coop next to it with shingles and a roof that can grow hair.

Wow what a great idea I was just introduced to a really cool coop would have to put a concrete apron here and walls

Those are awesome! They are tractors and their aluminum open coop design would work beautifully here BUT I am afraid to check on the price. My coops have to cost next to nothing or I will hear about it FOREVER
I am currently checking out microscopes so I can do my own fecal floats. Do any of you folks have experience with doing your own fecal floats?

Yeah, I went poking around a few threads. I think that there is lots of info to be had on BYC if I just spend the time to look for it. I also obsessed on Amazon for awhile and then it dawned on me to ask my medical professional type kids too... They will probably have a quick answer for me.

*** they did***
She thinks any starter or student scope will work for what I want, so that makes it easy to not make a mistake. I think I will take it up a notch and find one I want to live with. I'm sure it will be a fun hand-me-down eventually.
