Setup a wireless colour camera in the run to monitor the little girls with the receiver connected to the Soniq 32″ TV in the kitchen/meals area. As posted earlier I’ll get the Cocoon Outdoor HD Wireless IP Camera from ALDI next Wednesday.
First full day at Meadowbrook Mansion for the little chooks, lots of playtime, eating & drinking, resting – repeat the cycle. Got a bit confused at bedtime by the look of it, seemed to be settling down in a corner outside their box LOL so we went and guided them in.
First night at Meadowbrook Mansion – didn’t take long for the little ones to find their accommodation, been in there for a few hours now.
Off this morning to Abundant Layers in Emerald to get three Pekins, 2 x buff and 1 x white. Spent the last couple of days building a box for them for the integration period and fencing off one end of the run. Samsung Galaxy is on charge so had to use the little Kodak M753 for the first shots.
The chook box is done so that’s accommodation out of the way, now we can move onto putting up some framing with wire mesh so they have their own area.
We need to provide accommodation for the new girls (looks like three) during the integration period. Previously I used a timber dog kennel rescued from hard rubbish but that was years ago and it’s been lying around unused, so I put it back out (where it come from) for the last collection – not knowing it would be needed again.
Above: No need for anything fancy as it will only be used for about a month, I’m using plywood panels that I saved from a dismantled vintage 60’s wardrobe.
Woolworths – Hub It Accessory USB 2.0 Tower Fan – $5.00.
Bought one to try and surprised how well it works so went back and got some more of them to hand out to family and friends.
With Ruby gone to the big coop in the sky and only Misty and Speckles left we are looking to get a two or three Pekins. Two places on the list are Abundant Layers and Craigs Farm.
RIP my girl.
Keen to try out the new toy this morning so setup to clean the driveway. Happy with the results and can report job completed in about 1/3 the time it took with the smaller GMC 1400W.
This mornings effort was to setup for re-potting the Ficus fig plants. For each one used a paver for the pot base. The pots themselves are quite heavy – empty – so set them in place first then filled the bottom with pebbles for drainage. Mixed up 50/50 of garden soil and potting mix and filled to the right height, transfer plant and top up over the root ball – done.
