Have a great swap. |^| |^| |^|
Rain off and on here. Sometimes hard sometimes no rain at all.
I've been hard at it since my cup this morning. It smelled so bad in the fish room yesterday afternoon that I wasn't able to do wipe downs. Combine a warm room with a damp floor and 13 chickens shitting and you get toxic air. I tired opening the door to the house hoping 3 doors open to the outdoors and the exhaust fan would help, but all I ended up with was chickens walking into the house. Luckily, I still had their clean large cage and fish container in the house. I opened the cage and 5 chickens walked it. I hunted down the remaining 8 and put them in the fish container and threw in the towel for the night.
After coffee, I did my wipe downs and changed 700 gallons of water. Then I cleaned up my tools in the chicken house, moved the scrap lumber out of the way, swept the chicken house out, opened it's windows, but down a bale of shavings and scooped up chickens 3 at a time, moved them to their own house and closed the door.
I've made my materials list for fencing and as soon as I finish my little sit down I'm headed to Lowes.
Those are about the luckiest chickens in the world having you to take care of them.
I know that I will let myself suffer before I let my animals suffer. It's the way it should be, period.
I'm back from Lowes with materials. Think I'll have a stuffed green pepper before I start digging post holes. The sun is out now. I hope it stays for a while.
Its another sunny day in the 70s. Moved a bunch of compost from a heap to the garden and chewed it in.
For some reason I can't pace myself when I'm digging with a shovel. Instead I go at it forcefully and wear myself out.
