New outlook for the New Year!

It's not quite the New Year but the chookies are enjoying a new view from their Fox-proof Fowl Fort (FpFF)!

Nick and Erin moved the girls' quarters today, so their fence now surrounds a tree in front of our house. 

We're hoping the new shady location is cooler for the chookies on our hotter days - or hottish parts of our usual varied-weather days!
The operation took several hours this morning. Previously Elmer has been used to tow the Fort into a new position but this time the fence was broken down into two-panel sections and carried across. 

The garden trolley was used to wheel the chook-house along but seemingly would only manage one fence panel at a time - and we had limited cable ties on-hand for rejoining the Fort afterward.  Once all was secure, the girls were ushered back home!
