Via the Smart Home app-

I asked 'Alexa...Show me Chicken Shed  Camera'

She responded 'OK'

And another window opened displaying the chook shed camera.

That's Ruby &  Rosie.

Chook Shed Water Mister - Part 1

For hot nights and hot chooks here is something for backyard poultry people which should allow the chooks to remain out there and avoid or at least reduce the prep work time and effort to bring them inside - everyone stays cooler.

Sprocket going home today

As usual he's been a good boy and very easy to look after as he spends most of the time in a horizontal position. All we need to do every so often is check for a pulse 🙂 The kitties are used to him and Zia sleeps next to the boy.

Velcro is good

 

I am fortunate to have a good supply of Velcro so I use it everywhere for lots of things.

This sensor light is from the front porch and is stuck to the brick wall.

First chook food delivery for 2024.

  

That will keep them going for a while.
