The Wrong Trousers

Tuesday 26th August 2008 by Steve Mayne

Spread the love

With the best of intentions just over a week ago I put down wood shavings in their run.

Which then turned into the second-worst smell that I’d discovered this year.

So raked it all up this afternoon … and it was rank … now safely deposited in the compost bin.

Chipped Hardwood has been deployed … hopefully this’ll last about a year or so with the occasional hosedown.

Oh, and today was a second 4-egg day … although our capacity to eat eggs (including the eldest sprog) has increased beyond the chickens ability to lay them.

Final note – the area of our patio that was used to house the run whilst the wood shaving’s sludge was removed is now grass and weed free. Thanks chooks!
