New onions and leeks are being planted in the part near the red-stemmed beets. The big leeks are leftover from spring/summer and need to be used soon. The variety Musselburgh holds really well in our garden without going tough.https://wildhopehomestead.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/img_20200708_131849488.jpgIMG_20200708_131849488The brassicas in the Veggie Garden aren't growing as fast as the ones in the Front Plot.

Mr Bingley and his new main Mrs, Frodo, snuggle on the higher long roost with Kitty up there too. Kitty is the guard chicken so she must be close to the door. On the low, wide, plank roost are Jane B, closest to Mr Bingley, and Georgiana. Poor Lizzie hides in the top right corner. Sookie and Lorelai are either perching horribly on the thin edge of the top nestbox or Lorelai is in it. This is bad for two reasons: 1) bad for their feet, 2) poop in the nestbox. I move them onto a roost every night but they still go up there at bedtime. I'm going to put something on top of the nestbox just at night until I can sort it out properly.https://wildhopehomestead.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/dscf2675.jpgDSCF2675The corner of the chicken coop and the new feeding station.

What I like about them is that I can move them around, stack them in different ways and add more when I want to. And they're easy to clean and less likely to harbour mites than wood. And I didn't have to build anything for them. I will have to build some ramps or scaffolding for better access to the higher nestboxes and cut the holes bigger.https://wildhopehomestead.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/dscf2100.jpgDSCF2100I also moved the food and water vessels to the other end of the woodshed close to the gate and knocked up a little bit of fence to shelter them from the rain.

This is the best cut-out imprint: shallow and in the shape of the chicken's toes, so as to hold the foot nicely, spreading out the chicken's weight to take pressure of the sore bits. I found that not having a hole over the lesion worked better for a chicken housed outside as the hole would just channel dirt onto the foot, even through the bandaging.https://wildhopehomestead.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/img_20170218_070725483_hdr.jpgimg_20170218_070725483_hdrAnother view of the foam shoes. Unfortunately, I didn't take a photo of the best bandaged- and taped-on shoe version. The bandage is wrapped around to hold the shoe on the foot and the tape helps secure it and seal out dirt around the leg, under the bottom and on the ends.https://wildhopehomestead.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/dscf0015.jpgdscf0015https://wildhopehomestead.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/dscf0176.jpgdscf0176Georgiana, the prettiest and one of the sweetest youngies, is currently bitter at me.
