It all sounds so dreamy! Sandra. You both have worked so hard to get to this. We’re gonna feel so spoiled! I can taste your fresh tomatoes. Perfectly beautiful! Xoxoxo

It was full of twists and turns, some expected and some not, but just glad to finally be at this point - winter can be chilly and humid and it is definitely going to be a plus to have working windows that keep out the rain and wind.

I’m ooh-Ing and aah-Ing at the details of the progress! I’m also relieved and happy that you can embrace a cooler and more civilized indoor experience. ♥️

Smart predators like a fox can be dissuaded using salt in guns of other non lethal methods. They are able to change behaviors more readily than prey animals like deer, that just keep coming back.

The six roosters are making my poor hen’s lives unbearable since they are in a closed space. Ratio 6 to10 hens. The 3 small hens were starting to starve. I can keep two males. The roosters all go into a cage now until I sort something out. My poor virgin hens were quite molested.

having space is key to reducing the damage of wrong rooster-hen ratios
