The Poultry Keeper

I use to use a white board when I was working with clients....and have had it hanging around since.
This morning I had a brain wave. With all the moving around of chickens, each night I was having to do a mental check about who was in which enclosure. Not anymore.....the white board is now hanging in the main coop, with 3 sections on it, and listed in each section is who lives there. Save a little of my precious brain power each night now Very Happy

Good idea but I have to ask why did you bother to take it with you ?

Well, you take everything with you, as you never know...and we have recycled loads of stuff here. There is plenty of room here, so nothing is in the way.....it's amazing how suddenly something that we thought we had no use for becomes useful again. Look at the French peasants, they never throw stuff away....it's all rusting somewhere in a field.

I just need to train them to stand in line, a la Chicken Run and I can take a register Laughing

I try not to count mine except for the poultry register, as it only worries me.

Mark is a hoarder too, and honestly, I wouldn't be too quick to throw stuff out....you never know, it might be just what you need when you get here.
