Roosting

Kaden’s chickens have learned to go into their coop at night and how to roost. I no longer have to wrangle them into the coop, nor do I have to pick them up and put them on the roost. I only had to put them on the roost a couple times before they figured that part out.

Kaden and I are both very happy that each night we go out to close the coop door – they are on the roost and ready for us to close it up.

I might put the automation career to work at home and automate the door before winter. Speaking of automation, I planned to rebuild the waterer  – since it was leaking. I purchased new nipples, better quality than the originals I purchased. I got these from Tractor Supply. The first ones were from Amazon. Sometimes it’s better to hold what you are going to purchase. Losing $5 on the first ones does not hurt too bad.

The garden is coming along, I built the cages out of a roll of rabbit wire. Worked out great and just in time. The wind is crazy this week, been gusting up to 55mph. I went out and took a peak, all plants still in place.

Got the tomato plants in, and planted them deep this year. My uncle sent me an article talking about pruning them and deep planting. Figured I would try that this year. Only planted 8 this year.

I am a little worried I may need to plant green beans again because it appears the full row I planted is not coming in – only 1 plant. The half row has 9 plants up. I guess I will wait a week then re-plant.
