Of note is the bottom lock on the door - which was not cooperating (sticking) at twilight time - it was eventually persuaded but not without some whispered swearing...
Susan was a little surprised to see hay in the coop this AM - question: are we keeping straw on the ground in the coop - and how best to keep this clean?

Good Morning,
ReplyDeleteThe extra straw on the floor of the roosting area is for insulation in the below zero weather. As we move out of this cold snap, we can remove it. For now, try picking out what frozen poo you can, and we will clean it all out once it isn't so cold.
As for the locks, at the Dec 19 meeting we discussed this, and suggested members get some lock de-icer. I had a call from Deirdre this morning, as she had trouble as well, I suggested she try blowing on the lock. Just be careful in forcing the lock as you can break the barrel.
Great news on the 5 eggs! Were they all brown?
