So last weekend Johnny and Natalie were in Indiana for a wrestling tournament. The other kids and I went out to the land and we’re able to add on a second poultry net to make a larger enclosure for the rabbits and chickens. We also added a dividing hot wire partly to keep them in their separate areas and partly to test how well a wire will contain them (as opposed to the much more expensive netting).
We also added this super cool gate so we can go in and out without having to shutoff the electric fence every time. Oreo KNOWS when the fence is down and is constantly looking for an opportunity to bolt! I used vinyl lattice and ran hotwire thru the slats so the gate is hot too.
We also got the feeders and waterers hung in the chicken coop so they can’t knock them over now that they’re getting bigger. The chicks are getting sooooooo big and they love the sun. They want to go out so badly!
Check out Johnny’s latest update video. There’s some cute footage of the animals. I have to say I’m really enjoying seeing the rabbits get to live in a colony instead of wire cages all the time. We’re waiting to see if we get some baby rabbits soon…if so we can hopefully move all the rabbits out there to live in a more natural environment. It makes me happy seeing them so much more relaxed and content! These are like, completely different rabbits from how they were living in the hutches.
