The Hand has been hard at work re-roofing and shoring up the old goat barn, adding integrity to the base (we have feral pigs and mongoose and other egg predators about) and has put up the frame for my crazy bent-PVC run.
We will get chicks soon, and they’ll need a temperature-controlled environment. I’m going to use Home Assistant to link a heat lamp on a KAUF plug and an Ecowitt temperature probe to maintain a warm environment until the chicks are ready to roost.
