A friend from church came over this afternoon to hang out with Jaron so I could get some work done outside.
First, I set up a board across the compost bins to keep the birds from scratching everything out.
Next, I fixed the holes in the trampoline. The chicks have outgrown their box in the garage and need a new home stat.
Blue twine is this year's color.
I think the fixes will hold this year now that the trampoline is on the outside of the goat pasture. The big chickens were curious what I was doing...
Setting up some roosts was the big thing besides plugging holes.
We loaded the chicks in a tote with a great over the top and transferred them to the trampoline. Looks like we have some Polish chicken genetics in our new flock.
They were pretty nervous at first and huddled together inside the wooden box.
Meanwhile, we got the feed and water set up on a pallet to hopefully prevent waste.
A couple chicks are braver than the others.
The last thing I got done was to set up the mineral feeders again post sliding door installation. We have two different kinds of mineral. Sweetliks is on the left, and DuMor is on the right. We'll see which kind goats like the best!
