I wound up removing the boards as I couldn't get the blocks close enough with the wood in the way.

Thank you! She's one of two remaining hens from my original chick purchase, back in February 2023. Hannah is the other, who went broody once as a pullet, never since, and who lays smaller eggs.

I think I’ve blinked - why are you walking walling up your garden beds again?

Edit: iPhone autocorrupt, how I loathe thee

The rot-resistent cedar boards rotted, so I need to do something.

Zack's Place

Rahab and Hannah behind Zaccheus, whose molt appears to be almost finished. Near left is loquacious Joanna, suddenly going into molt, just in time for freezing weather. Upper left is Priscilla. The juvies are mingling more, didn't get a picture of it, yet.

Juvies by the feeder while the adults are busy with Chinese cabbage.

Coop Deux

Silas and his harem, all in attendance except for the shyest OEGB, Phoebe.

Bottom left is Naomi, who went from a long, faithful brooding time immediately into a rough molt. She's looking better but not 100% yet.

I have two birds that are mid molt, fortunately they have lost only some of their feathers and are not likely to freeze to death during this cold snap.

It won't get really cold, yet. We will probably get our first frost Monday night, but daytime temps will stay in the 50s, most likely.

They can huddle on the roost.

The two hens at the field seem to have left their moult rather late. So far it hasn't been very cold.
