1970′s vintage Shasta 25 foot camper trailer. My challenge–to convert it into a massive chicken coop for 150 egg layers.
Much work needs to be done-the interior needs to be demolished, removed, and disposed of. Automatic water, and feeders will be incorporated into the final design. I have to get it home first by tow truck next week.
Must be completed by 3/16/08!

Nuthatch at Tehidy Woods Cornwall …

Filmed on 2nd April 2010 …

NUTHATCH
The nuthatch is a plump bird about the size of a great tit that resembles a small woodpecker. It is blue-grey above and whitish below, with chestnut on its sides and under its tail. It has a black stripe on its head, a long black pointed bill, and short legs. It breeds in central and southern England and in Wales, and is resident, with birds seldom travelling far from the woods where they hatch.

WHERE TO SEE THEM
Best looked for in mature woods and established parkland in central and southern England and Wales, on the sides of tree trunks and underside of branches. Occasional sightings in Scotland.

WHEN TO SEE THEM
All year round.

WHAT THEY EAT
Insects, hazel nuts, acorns, beechmast and other nuts and seed.

This video features 54 of the most common breeds of chicken from around the world. I have kept pet chickens in a coop/run, which I made myself, in my back garden for two years. One of my hens is a Sussex and the other is a Welsummer. They both lay eggs and are more entertaining than you may imagine. I previously also owned an Orpington.

The song featured in this video is ’4 Can Keep A Secret If 3 Of Them Are Dead’ by Apparatjik [Meta Merge Un Recordings Ltd].
