We had a hill against the run, so it was muck all winter. Laying a few pallets out gave the chooks a dryer place to walk, and a place for poop and snow to fall between boards. Most snow melted on the wood faster than on the ground. Once the ground dried, I stood them up and leaned them elsewhere. They served me well.

I love this plan. Just moved to a new zone and plants seem happier here. I am excited to push the limits and find out which will thrive.

I found wild gooseberries and cooked them down in some water, mashed, strained, added a spoon of honey and chilled for lovely juice. Now, how to beat the critters to them next year.
