    Building an entire coop while playing a constant game of fetch is the truest form of multitasking I’ve ever seen!😂I love your dog so much.💛

      When my mom rakes leaves in the yard our dog will put the ball in the pile of leaves. If you take too long to throw it she will start playing herself, which means spreading all the leaves back around the yard 😅

    If they're having trouble getting from the bar to the laying area, you could get a plank of wood to fill the gap, maybe.

    A) That chicken coop is so adorable!
    B) I think Lucki needs a dog house in that style to just chill in!!!
    C) Just wanted to share a little tip with you. If you keep something egg sized in the nesting areas, it will help the chickens remember where to lay their eggs. My parents have had chickens for years and they usually keep a few golf ball in the nesting areas of their coop. That way they don't have to hunt for eggs every day.

    • @zebraloverbridget
      @zebraloverbridget 2 роки тому +64

      To add to your last tip: they sell "eggs" you can give to chickens to help get them broody or to give to a chicken if they are constantly trying to steal other eggs to sit on. I'd imagine she could use that to get them to lay eggs in the right place, or just put out a few of their already layed eggs where she wants them to lay.

    Loki is the cutest lil senior fluff! Since the structure is wooden you can totally add a lil plank so the chickens don't have to jump or even make a ladder that's less steep.

    • @TheAshesvondust

    I raised bantams growing up and I remember that it was important to keep at least one non-bantam in the flock. You are correct, they are a bit dopey and uncoordinated, but they learn quickly from each other. Just one smart brahma who knew how to "chicken" correctly taught the whole flock. Your little chicklets seem to trust you thoroughly, you must be an excellent mama!

    If you have problems with that gap at the top of the ramp you could get a plank of wood cut to size bunnings does a few cuts for free and sit it on top of the brackets the rod is sitting on at the top of the ramp. It could make it easier for the chickens to get to each nesting box. Thanks for the new video I enjoyed it
