Moved all the deck boards to be the walkway. Also moved all the 2×4s to keep close by. Going to see what water troughs and cages I can start moving over. And have a new roll of 330ft fencing I'll enclose the bun n chicken area, as the sheep are highly annoying, cattle also, messy, destructive and will steal all the feed. Can't keep the carport open without the fence! But don't have enough tposts, maybe 6-7 free. Ugh.
One side has fence, so just 3 sides to do. It'll be a 110ft square area.

*phew*
3hrs of fiddling around, failures n getting covered in unknowns, moved some supplies, 8 rabbits & their cages!
One 3hole and the cull cage can move next, but the others have fresh kits in nests, so I'll leave them put until they're out of them.

One on the right will move next.

And the one on the left will move.

They're not in their permanent spots. Will play musical cages until I figure out where I like what.

Ended up moving Quincy n kits as well as the 3hole today.
Look at all that room in the middle! From hardly being able to move without running into something, to now you could dance in there!

Will wiggle and shove until the last two 3hole stackers get in there!
reused an old chicken run frame, used for delivering it, to hold two sets of cages, saving space! And will use the blue bin for auto watering during warm seasons for them.

And the second run also had the holder, hoping to use it for auto water for a few cages when the seasons are warm. It also holds the water troughs below for winter water. Gotta move a 3rd into the building.

I'll be redoing some of the tops of nests, to enclose with floor wire vs the hardware cloth that's n there now.

The long cull cage will be moved and placed outside. Will find a way to add a roof and wind protection to it.

Plastic sheeting will go on the inside of the roof and walls. The roof to stop "indoor raining" and the walls to stop rabbits from destroying the metal.

Moved Puff to a diy 5ft cage in the old barn.
Moved Gilt n kits, Jet & Navy to new barn.
Then remembered about the plastic and put one wall to.
Don't be like me and put it up after moving in rabbits...omg...
So cold and windy today, might get the other wall done later today or tomorrow.

Ugh. Puff had 8, 2 she ate, 5 dead, 1 hardly alive. Warmed it and put it in with Coral's kits. Probably won't make it. =/


$810 in the green. 80 in poo sales.
Currently $890 in the green!

We have lights and other plastic sheet up!
