NIGEL:
Well I have now finished fencing in the first half of our paddock. The chickens are now free to roam... but they didn't do much! Only Blackbeard & #93 ventured out initially, & not for long... it may take a while. Then today 2 roosters & to hens went on a group wander which was brill!!!
I finished the gutter & moved the rain barrel down. Also built a new low shelter for the coming winter. Our chicken coop's barn symbol has pleased the neighbors. Most of the neighbors seem to love the new addition to the community.
Susan & I separated the cockerels (except for Blackbeard, #93 an Australorp, #65 a Wyandotte & two other wyandottes) from the pullets/hens. The roosters/cockerels were stopping the hens/pullets from eating, drinking & relaxing/laying with their aggressive behaviors & harassment. We may complete the harvest this weekend if we can locate a plucker machine.
