I thought it was pretty...for us. I splurged on chargers at WM, got them for $1.00 each!

I love the chargers! Table looks very warm and inviting.

Oh, I know....most everyone says...."welcome Monday? Are you NUTS??" However, I for one...WELCOME IT!! Last Friday I took my meds in for refills. Well, seems they were "early" even tho I was out...( dont know how I did that) either way, I had to waite untill today to get my meds. See, I have COPD..and NOT haveing my meds..well...UGH!! So I went early this morning to get my meds...they are slowly getting back into my system, and I am starting to feel MUCH better. Ahhhhh, breathing is GOOD! LOL
So, with a gasp and a cough, I headed to the barn. We are to get thunderstorms tonight, and I needed to get it buttoned up before the storm. So, I drag my bum out there and get to work. This stupid Ram of mine...well..lets just say, he has maybe one more chance. He has suscessfully gone THROUGH 2 fences! Got the barn done..and fixed the fences. Then I headed to the banty shanty. Time to get the windows weatherized. So...I have my own design on the window covers. On the outside of the coop, there is a wood shutter, that I have tied to a rope from the inside. I can pull the rope, and open the shutter....and hook it on a nail inside.

Being I am ...well.. lazy, I was already outside with the plastic, and forgot to hook the rope. No biggie...I will prop it with this here stick. :/ ( Note to self, lazy gets ya hurt) Yeah, you guessed it...WHAM! Just about knocked my brains out. I stumbled backwards and heard a terrible SCREEEECH!!! O M G ! I squished a kitten! Thankfully its ok, but terribly upset at me. I tried to pick it up, and comfort it....OH HECK NO. That kitten hissed at me and ran to the thicket. Poor kitty. At least it has already forgiven me....with the help of a little leftover tenderloin.
So, tomorrow I just need to get the larger coop done, check all the water heaters...add more bedding...and drop the curtains over the windows.

Banty shanty.... love it

 

[justusnak]

With 4 poultry houses...I have to name them so Hubby knows what I am talking about...so, we have...
1) Banty Shanty...yup, Banty cochins, frizzles, and brooders.
2) Turkey hut...self explanitory.
3) Duck hut...again, the name calls it.
4) The BIG coop. This one has 4 "stalls" and runs....it is 12 x 30, has a 4ft walkway for me, and a storage area ( 4x8 ) for feed cans and...well..everything else.
Then, we have the barn, and the goat shed...and 2 small "shelters" The north shelter and the south shelter, and of course...hubbys Shop and lean-to. I am running out of names....guess we better stop building! LOL

Sorry you got a bonk o the head.

I am soliciting for advice.

Turkey herding. Do you let your birds free range? Do they go in their house at night? If not how do you get them there.

I have been using Farm Fresh's broom tactic. They turkeys are not getting it. Granted it has only been 3 days. I have them in a 1/2 acre area. It was very dark tonight. I had to cross the orchard 3 times to carry them in. With blackberry brambles and all. Uggggg!!!

I am about ready to confine them again. Help???

Just, I love your innovative shutter pulls! Sounds like something I'd come up with....
