Re: [CHICKENS-101] It's the middle of Nov and 59 degrees in Michigan

 

Shannon, The help stopped with checking on the hens.  I am hoping to hire the teens next door the time they are over visiting this coming weekend so the pens do not get too dirty.  I need to get more than 2 half barrels of dirty bedding a day out of the barns. I can't keep ahead and am now behind.  Right now I have zero dependable help and have not been able to find someone I can count on.  The one guy now has disability supposedly for his back, to go along with his food stamps.  Yet he did everything here (including heavy equipment) until he made 75-100 or so then skipped showing up until he'd spent it.  I quit calling him because when I need to clean, I need to clean, not 3-5 weeks later. Once I get caught up I am going to make myself clean every day even if I am dragging.

Thank you Shannon.  I put my white rocks into their little coop house after the winds ripped their roof of 3 heavy duty tarps that were not only tied down but had ropes every 5-6 ft over the entire pen to hold them on.  H went out and pulled the awning away from the chick barn door so I can get into them, in the morning.  Plus if the power goes out I will be able to get in to give them a flashlight so they can see to huddle up in a big pile.  Made a few pullets unhappy tonight by putting them in the little chick pen, trying to cover my bases. The wind has picked up again so I am going to go make another check in a little bit on all of the barns.
