Sooooooo much rain! A flooded chicken coop and a shorted out electrical fencing is no good! Talk about a frustrating weekend!
We had a busy weekend out at the farm. Unfortunately, not busy doing the things we had intended to do… We arrived at the farm to find the electric poultry netting shorting out due to standing water in the run. There was also standing water in the chicken coop. Talk about a nasty (and smelly) …
The Chicks Finally Get to Explore Outside Their Coop
This weekend we had a very busy and productive weekend. We spent a lot of time pulling up the chainlink fence that ran through the middle of the property. We got the back half cleared out but there’s still quite a bit that needs to be removed. It’s crazy how trees can just grow through …

2019-09-08 Update – Bug Shack Mania
So this weekend we worked hard on the bug shack. There was crap chest high in there. We’ve decided we’re going to turn the bug shack into our new chicken coop.
