Last May (or thereabouts)…
- we had just got our chicks
- all ten chicks made it to adulthood
- one rooster turned vicious, and had to be killed
- recently, one of the hens got really broody, then got sick and died
- the remaining 7 hens and one rooster are doing great, and we’re getting 6-7 eggs every days
- I installed the electric gate opener
- we had to augment the gate with a locking mechanism to keep Luna the Big Dog™ safe
- we ended up installing the solar panel to power the gate far away, near a different (unpowered) gate
- the gate works really, really well; I’m glad we have it
- we welcomed our little lambs, Vinda and Lu
