Spent yesterday on the tractor in the backyard, earlier I mentioned main reason for the tractor was to get backyard to drain, I moved a lot of dirt and rocks yesterday.

You see that dirt piled up on the bank? That was bare when I started, cut almost a foot down, still have a lot more to cut.

Big project. Hopefully the ground isn't getting to hard on you in Summer. Here, my dirt turns into concrete in Summer!!!!

Well, since 2 of our "chickens" are bigger than the others, we ran out of roost spots inside..

I've been cutting oak and cedar branches for mine to roost on. It's become sort of a game for me to find new ways to mount them, and where to put them so we can walk through the coop without having to bend to go under them.

My latest idea was to use metal plumbers tape. I attach one end to a rafter, then wrap it once around the branch, and then attach the other end to the rafter. One end of the branch is held up by the metal plumbers tape, the other is screwed into a wood post. It moves a little when they are on it, but I think they like that!!
