Everyone seems to be doing fine with the new arrangements.

Under the roost in Coop Deux (C2):

Only one egg from C2, and unknown hen didn't use the nest box.

:rolleyes:

Once the ground is stripped of growth I'll move the straw in the wheelbarrow to under the roost.

Zack's flock got mower clippings.

Today Fence Guy got the fence line cleared and the poles sunk deep. What looks like an uneven spot is actually where the gate is going. Tomorrow he will string the chain link and install the gates.

You may have to put fence around the hoop coops to keep goats off. May 2024 I snapped this picture of one of my lambs comfortably nestled on top of my hoop shelter. If a lamb can climb it, a goat surely can.

I was going to ask you all here about that possibility, as I remembered you posting about sheep tapdancing on a hoop coop!
