prepared the roof for installation, cut the foam and glued it to the foam.  Suddenly I found a new way to protect a tree.  I am building a chicken coop from oak scraps that I buy as firewood. Today I tried to treat it with liquid glass and saw how the color of the oak began to change, most likely there was a reaction with the tannin contained in the oak.  The result is a wonderful dark color and the effect is as if varnished

the chickens have been moved into the chicken coop, all that remains is to make the nests

I bought 1500 worms, although I’m not sure about the quantity, the seller said everything is ok, there are large and small and eggs) I settled them in the end of the brooder far from the heat, I will control that the chickens do not find them

That will be the key :), keeping the snacks away until you are ready.

Document, document, document!

The difference between an experiment and a mistake is writing everything down.

The new chicks are adorable!
The older chickens look happy in their new run and coop. What a wonderful set-up! I'm so happy that everything is working out, as it should. You've been doing a lot of work and it shows.
