Ice bath time for some of the hens because climate change is real.
@peeppeepcircus I dreamed that you made basically an underground "yard" sort of for them. Dug a pit 40 feet by 80 feet, 12 feet deep and put a roof on it with the top foot and a half all steel heavy mesh all around the top of the walls w/ fans & auto rakers for cleaning. (I know there is a name for that) w/ one ramp in & one out & the earth moderated the heat. You made it like a wonderland of hanging toys & waterers, perches, cubbies &play areas for them. They loved it &you did too. Nice dream.
@mims there is a guy that did something like this for his orchard
@peeppeepcircus holy smokes is that the guy in Fresno?
@mims yeah, he was! many years ago. grapes and fruit trees still going.
@peeppeepcircus I swear you loved your new setup - the roof and the hardware cloth were the most expensive parts (trusses were somehow stregtherened concrete beams and you made it in a curve like this 1/2 a parentheses ( with the top down to the right and you planted it with clover. - just from the dream and you loved it. On one side you had a little (20 foot) - like worm bins but you were growing black fly larva to feed to the chickens. We had a glass of wine (pinot grigio) to toast it.
@mims at least I already have the worm bins! And some clover seeds!
@mims coincidentally this would be a dream house for me, as long as it could withstand natural disasters.
@mims and this architecture just blew my mind - made with concrete over an inflatable sculpted shape.

@peeppeepcircus Wow that looks like Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru's house almost... VERY cool!
@mims also Hobbit Luxe.
@peeppeepcircus I'll haveto do some looking at cool architecture now - you've got me going! But that may be for tomorrow! How fun!
@peeppeepcircus I could see that! In fact there are some who think that living partially underground with structures like this above will be a coming thing in the remainder of this century!
@peeppeepcircus That's awesome! I hope to have a few worm bins by next spring and I just bought two pounds of red clover seed (by accident) but that's ok I love crimson clover! And the bees and other pollinators will love it too
@mims crimson clover is amazing, so beautiful.
@mims 🤔
