          Got a dozen mostly red hens yesterday! I was planning to finish the last few pieces in a more leisurely manner, but me and the family were at Tractor Supply yesterday, and the perfect set of chickens were there at the farm swap. We just couldn't pass them by. πŸ˜„ I scrambled to finish the ramps and the ladders in time for evening roosting, while my wife finished the exterior painting and the kids were occupied with bonding with the girls.

            Can't wait to come by for some eggs! Looks like a nice pad and a great brood. Is that bamboo? Nice touch.

              Thanks! Yep, I made the roost out of bamboo. I've been using bamboo for garden fencing and stakes for years, and thought it would be perfect to make a ladder out of. Eggs coming soon! 😍

                And I see you've added a viewing bench - to sit & chat with them! Wonderful!

                        Great stuff Andy. Mr Fox can write this one off as he has no hope of a dinner here πŸ˜‰

                        I got a great laugh out of this picture,
