It's Friday!
It has been almost exactly one year since we got our chickens (chicks at the time). They were living in a large cardboard box at the time. Now they have their very own wood and metal palace out back, and we're planning the next stages.
I've been bringing the rooster inside at night for a few weeks now. His crowing at 5am is just not acceptable, and if I keep him in his carrier inside a closet it is dark enough to keep him from crowing until at least 7am. But I think we found something to help with that called Green Glue. In the next couple of months we'll build a new, slightly larger house for the fluff balls with this and some insulation (even though they're hardy and don't really need it) to keep them comfy in the winter. And they need more separation between roosts and nest boxes because they're getting in fights at egg time now.
So here I am, thinking about drawing yet another chicken coop. Will it be fancier now that it is not a rush? Perhaps.
