I said earlier that the past weekend was busy. One project that turned out pretty good is the portable chicken run. I wanted to give the chicks access to the grass and let them graze, eat bugs and poop freely. So I started digging in the pvc discard pile and came up with a simple rectangular "playpen". Just a few sections of pvc, some connectors, Hannah's green duck tape and some deer netting and poof...done. Randy, Gavin and I had fun working on it together.
The chickens love it. I move it around the yard during the afternoon and they nibble on grass, catch bugs and just hang out. I put a water dish in with them and keep an eye out just in case our dog, Eleanor decides she wants chicken for lunch. So far so good. In the evening they are ready to go back to their coop so I scoot it over and let them out...they trot right back in. Funny birds.
