This was a fun week! Miss Cloud had straw all to herself and everyone had fun visiting the old small coop. Then we spent time in the snowy chicken paths. They are so much happier together now that everyone is a bit older (we are at week 37 for the youngest hens and that means week 125 for the older ones.
I made some perch changes in the run now that I have removed almost all of them. I decided to use an old chair I purchased and put it on its side so they can climb all over it. They got to use their old cabbage swing and everyone loves it! Happy days!

I watched my friend’s chickens for a few days and the temps got to 105. Not my most fun adventure ever but the chickens seemed to make it through.

Michael and I decided to take down two trees in our backyard. The question is how many saws did it take, how many friends volunteered, and how many days. Ha!

Some parts of the video is difficult to view due to the red lighting. Sorry about that.
Chicken math happened to me within 24 hours. Went back to the hatchery twice in one day... once to get more and once to return a chick with an issue.

Today I decided to break the flock block in half to prevent the chickens from fighting over it. I used a screw driver and a mallet which worked well enough. I'm still Gimbal stupid and probably won't have time to figure it out for a while. Gimbal... Gimble... whichever LOL!

Another day outside for the chickens! I go over their names and follow them around the yard. They are doing pretty well with their evening perching (hopefully that continues). I added a little extra at the end of the video showing where the chicken clothes live. ;-)

I observed a growing issue with the hens all wanting to use the same nesting box so I spent a day contemplating a solution, ordered a product I put together, added it to the chicken run, and waited for the grand finale. It didn't turn out exactly as I figured.
