Green Grotto 13: Please wipe your feet, this our home. (Also, stay off the grass!)

I’m thinking about 10, max. Won’t start with that many. 6-8 to start, not until next spring.
The coop will be 6x6, with 6 ft on the high side, down to about 3 ft on the lower side and about 3 feet off the ground. The nesting box will be 6 ft wide, 18" deep, sloping roof that opens, 18 tall down to 12 inches… I can get 6 (12" wide) boxes in that area.
I plan to put a couple 2x2 (six foot long) across the upper portion of the coop for the chickens to roost. Plan to get a few vents for each end of the upper area of the coop to allow some cross breeze, maybe the type that can be opened or close by hand.

Nice! I also made an inside feeder for them.
As 3 hens can share a nest, I made a feeder so I lift the ‘egg access’ door and the feeder is there also. Plexi on top so I can see the feed level. It holds about 30lb of feed. The chickens like it, the feed is inside so if the coop door is closed the rodents can’t get to the feed.

They’re opening another dollar general here. That makes like 50 within 20 miles of me. I’m so excited!!! And yes they’re mostly all in horrible neighborhoods with nothing else to shop at. They need to hurry up and add fresh produce to more of their stores

Oooh I do like the dollar general markets. The closest one to me is too far away to bother with, but when I’ve been there its really nice.

Which is also really weird.

Smart, I didn’t really think about the feed.

Are we talking from the jar or homemade cheese sauce? I have made some very tasty homemade cheese sauce.

Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And days of auld lang syne?

For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne
We’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet
For days of auld lang syne

We twa hae run about the braes
And pu’d the gowans fine
But we’ve wander’d mony a weary fit
Sin days of auld lang syne

We twa hae paidl’d i’ the burn
Frae morning sun till dine
But seas between us braid hae roar’d
Sin days of auld lang syne

For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne
We’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet
For days of auld lang syne

And surely ye’ll be your pint-stowp
And surely I’ll be mine
And we’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet
For auld lang syne

And there’s a hand, my trusty fiere
And gie’s a hand o’ thine
And we’ll tak a right gude-willy waught
For auld lang syne

For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne
We’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet
For auld lang syne

For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne
We’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet
For auld lang syne
