Our chickens are very happy in their new home Unfortunately we have night critters who are always looking for a free lunchThe perimeter fence was breached last night in the one spot where we didn't install hardware cloth

TRAIL MARKERS
We have trails throughout our property that even extend across property lines. Everyone uses them for snowshoeing, biking or just an easy enjoyable afternoon hike.
This past winter our neighbours decided the trails needed adequate markers and designed a different butterfly or moth for each trail. I was impressed.
Stay safe and healthy everyone and thanks for stopping by.

COOP SECURED
In another week or two we will move the meat birds into the coop at the back We have been busy making the coop and area safe for them.
Yesterday that problem was solved by covering the entire back wall with heavy "hardware cloth" This stuff is like cow fencing and with all the clips holding it in place I think the little night critters will have to dine elsewhere.
Meanwhile our layers continue to be pampered. Every day they get 3-4 hours out of the coop to scratch in the gardens and yard They are fed a special organic healthy diet of chia, flax, yogurt,, lettuce, millet,, which Mary prepares in the kitchen for them We have 6 birds and they are laying 5-6 eggs a day They are happy and so are we.
Stay safe and well and thanks for stopping by.
