Speckles hot night in chook shed

Speckles was a bit overheated in her shed (around 28) so did the usual thing and setup the USB fan, beak not opening now and back to pruning herself. I’ll monitor the temp and turn off the fan later.

Garden Sentry spray shield modification

Adding a spray shield to the motion activated sprinkler.
Without something like this the over spray will keep activating the sensor and the system won’t turn off.
