Would you use this method?

I'll take this under advisement. Thanks again!

I'll have to try this method!
Thank you for the advise on boiling eggs. I had no idea that eggs lasted that long! We go through them so fast they never last more than a week. No problem with mice but I did see a cricket today in the feed bin. I am so glad we are not purchasing e…
I throw out some wild bird seed, about a cup a day from a cheap 20 lb bag I bought at Tempe Tack & Feed. Seems to keep them distracted from eating the chicken feed in the coop. If I forget...they let me know...
My question is how do I process backyard eggs? Most of the year, I pick eggs up daily and store directly in the refridgerator, then wash them just before we eat but sometimes we don't wash them.
During the summer with misters, the eggs get a bit mo…
No wonder my tomatoes died this year under a shadecloth!
One day's worth...Had to prove to my mom in Oregon I was actually growing something down here in the heat! Too wet for even a cucumber up there!
this coop looks like the one in Phoenix home and garden magazine a few months ago! Beautiful!
Looking great!
Thanks Sue!

- HI Susan - thanks for the kind comments! I also was inspired by what I saw others did and then followed my personal vision for my space.
I am not aware of what you saw in PHX Home and Garden. Please tell me more - what issue and I will go look it up myself! Thanks, Doreen

Anita Mahaffey said… - I love the pictures of your chicken run and coop! We have a bamboo chicken coop that my husband and son built that still needs some tweaking, but we're pretty happy with the results. We like the passive-solar location of our coop which is located under the southeast canopy of an old fig tree. It is totally shady in the summertime and sunny in the wintertime. I have no concerns whatsoever about our chickens overheating in July ... it's cool!
