Are you referring to the silkies or coops?

Coops and perhaps an overview of the whole setup.

Coops and perhaps an overview of the whole setup.

My coops go with the flow of the grade. At one time our place was part of a larger farm and all the ground had terraces to keep gullies from forming. If I new some one with a drone I could get an aerial but I don't. Video is not an option for us. I will see about a widespread photo by taking a photo from out by the highway. Not long ago it would have been full of roaming chickens but now they are in their hoop coop houses. I'm redesigning their runs. All are down now with one partially back up. They have to be higher not for the chickens but for care givers to walk in without bending over.

@LTAY1946 what you are doing sounds very interesting to me.

If the weather guessers are not to far off then there will be enough sunshine to get a few photos tomorrow. I want to take a few of the 8 week old silkies too.

We did finish the new garden fence bought 6 more 6ft t - posts.
Field wire 5 ft from the old chicken yard.
Turned warm again 74 here now.

At least we can turn the AC off now.

We may drop in the 40's now at night.
Sleep good putting that fence up today.

Good Morning Old Folks

Same here. This should keep the fruit trees in check for a while. I hope.

It's grey and cold. It's a good morning for coffee. It's also a good morning to go back to bed for a nap.
