Lost 2 more chickens today when I was gone getting feed for 30 mins. So I have 3 left. I'm thinking of just making another 8' x 16' pen and having them live in there. No free ranging. Sigh.... That makes me sad, but the fox and hawks are determined.

More progress on the quail aviary! Back wall is mostly done. Gotta fill a couple small holes with hardware cloth.

I also put a string on my chicken pen door so I can open it without going inside the grass pen.

04/05/2024

The chickens were getting way too cramped in their little dog pen (I use them for quail brooders). So I decided to put them outside in my extra quail grow out cages until I build their coop. I put up a small roosting bar, they were jumping on their food and water in the brooder, so I think they'll figure it out. It'll keep them out of the mud if it rains, too.

I can close the pen door at night and open it so they can forage in some grass during the day.

I'm so glad I picked up these extra metal dog pens. I use them to make quail cages. Thankfully I didn't take them apart yet. They have 4' walls and a roof so they can't get out.

They're so cute exploring their new digs!

Aviary update!

I now have a door!

I had found a busted up dog kennel in the trash. Well, the top and back panel were perfectly fine and worked to be a good size for this door. I reinforced the joint with lawn sign H-brackets and extra zip ties. This thing is solid! I'll be adding netting to it, but this is what I used for my other IBC Totes lawn cages and it works great for a door.

I have 2 snap clips keeping it closed and 3 pieces of pipe strapping working as hinges.

I love repurposing things in my builds!!

Hey everyone! I'm 2/3 done with my 8' x 16' grow out aviary for the roosters!!!

I've got the bulk framing, including ridge pole, all secured. This thing is a beast! Building it heavy to deal with this crazy wind.

Just need to add horizontal supports midway, make door, and then cover with mesh and tarp.

PSA to everyone!!!!!

Put your TV in another room!! Go through TV withdrawal. Get productive with your time!

I just did more work in 2 hours than I ever thought possible.

Stay focused, stay consistent. You'll finally reach your goals!

What I did in 2 hours:
-move massive quail p**p pile (I need the area it was in)
-unload and organize wood
-finally made my trailer markers so I can see my trailer in the mirror

Y'all can do so much once you put your mind to it! And if you have ADHD or procrastination issues (like me) ..... Headphones. Drown out your thoughts with music. You know what to do, don't think about it anymore. Put the headphones on and get to it!

13/04/2024

Aged quail p**p on the tarp, ready for any takers!

PM for address!

My dad gave me some older deck boards and they worked out perfectly for putting up a quick wall for the coop. I just put the 4 week old birds outside and it was a bit too gusty.
