Rural Gardening: Using Tools & My Girls!, 0 by AnnieBBB

I actually used some tools today, and like it! I replaced the screens over the roof vents in the coop - they collected too much dust, so I tore them out and replaced them with rat wire. There were round plastic circles on the ends of the nails, it made the screen hold better, the nails didn't come back through the wire and it's held tight.

The container planting for the girls didn't work well for long. I cut two 2x4x10's in half and am making a 5ft square and covering it with rat wire. I'll put the square in the chicken run, throw seed under it to grow - the sun will still shine through and it won't matter if the girls walk on it. When the grass gets high enough I'll move the square to a new spot in the run, repeat.

Here is the new vent cover.
