Earphones For Chickens?
We have the coop. But where to place it on our backyard? Do we need foundation? How to prevent raccoons from getting in to the coop?
Our smart friend Kelton, who is an engineer, drew fabulous instructions how to build a raccoonproof foundation. The problem is:
I didn’t understand any of the instructions.
The drawing looks like a space ship plan for me (look at the picture – do you get it?) I don’t want my little chickens to go for a space ride!
Donna understood the instructions but she was too lazy to do all that work.
We decided to skip the foundation part because we want to get the chickens soon, which is – like everything in my life – now. Donna dug a huge hole in the backyard and hauled the coop to it.
The coop is under our neighbor’s apple tree. The chickens will get used to dropping round obstacles whenthe apple season is on. Maybe I’ll supply the chickens with isolating earphones.
Now we are ready for the chickens.
