Wow. I have been under immense pressure after reading your post about scores. I had a very low score and then here again i read in your comments about 15 minutes deadline..i live in the busiest city of my country and we have bad (nuke obsessed) neighbours which = war at any time. One thing i realised after reading you post and scoring as low as 100 was, I have a lot to learn. But you are such a great motivation so hopefully i might get somewhere.
About this post, the area i live in there is no snow at all however your tips on laying wooden chips (For chickens) and stawbales is awesome. i have tried to keep hens many times but was worried about the smell and now i know the solution. Thanks a lot. Keep posting and i will share the idea of straws with my friends in north. Thanks.
