MJ's little flock

[MaryJanet]

The chicks look fine MJ, active, curious, eating and drinking.
How are you finding the coop now you've used it a bit?

It's fit for my purposes (broody hen, laying eggs, chicks) but I wouldn't recommend it for roosting, unless we're talking about a small number of small chickens. It's too small. Nor is it safe from digging predators, which is why I have it within the big enclosed run. I like its adaptability and versatility. Like most of the cheap flat packs, it seems flimsy and flimsy is so easy to adapt, eg, when I wanted to attach the new wide ramp to the front of the poop tray, I pulled the handles off the tray with my bare hands. Sturdy flat packs are way more expensive, like the big coop, which is as strong today as the day I assembled it.

Is it time for a tour? Actually, I think it's long overdue.

Sorry for changing the orientation half way through - I didn't even notice what'd I'd done until I was re-watching the video and I don't have time to re-do it, so I beg forgiveness.

Looking good MJ! Lots more greenery than when you last showed us around.

What a lovely video, I felt like I was visiting! Thank you.

Yes, the jacaranda is at its best right now and of course the three lavenders are doing well. A month ago the jacaranda was spindly but that's nice in winter because it lets the light through.

Will you make one of your coop Lozzy? @RoyalChick ?

I was just pondering that idea.
Did you do it all in one go, or in pieces spliced together?

All in one go, I just said what I saw I don't really know how to edit video other than snipping bits off the beginning or end.

There's not really much to mine, plus the henhouse is rather grubby.

Oh I would have to do some cleaning and tidying first!
