Moving my broody and her fostered legbar chicks from the wee coop into a large dog cage with a cat box for nesting, for greater security and a bit more space til the chicks are old enough to go in the grower run. Being paranoid after losing 9 of my 16 hens to fox a couple weeks ago, all the tree roosting girls got nabbed one at a time as they jumped down in the morning. The remaining 7 are coop roosting and/or catchable where then try and spend the night under bushes or in laying coops, so I fetch them individually to lock up for now. The dog cage plus pallets around it and a metal sheet over the top for weather protection, should be more secure than the wee broody hut.
Also spending a lot of time pulling ragwort in the back field, nearly half way done on that one but the front field still to do after. Oh and a wee bit on the constant weeds in the orchard, the garden, along fencelines, pretty much everywhere no matter how long I do weeding!
Hopefully getting elec fence sorted this week and then a leaned over fence righted again - I've knocked posts back too many times and some need replaced, the delivery came so need to get on with it.
