Chicken Barn

This was a busy week. We finished up the chicken barn last week and now we are able to catch up on our fall work. I spent most of the week spreading manure so that the pit is empty for the winter. Jesse worked away at washing machinery and putting it away.
Here is the chicken barn from the outside. All we need now is for Jim to come back and do a little more landscaping.


Here it is on the inside, last Sunday night , while we were waiting for the chickens to arrive.
Nice and clean, but it sure didn't take the hens long to get it dusty.

Here is the temperature controller. You can see that it was cool enough last week when they arrived.
And a few more controls, waiting for chickens to feed, and for eggs to release.

Or maybe ping pong balls, when you are bored and the hens are not there yet.
