Used the left over shade cloth to also finish the small garden on the other side. Got some great growth cranking in this garden
This other side garden is doing shit, the soil fucking sucks and is rock hard due to the clay content and nothing really takes off so I'm going to come back through and dig large row channels out and fill them with better soil and get it all cranking again.
Also got a heap of better sprinklers, mini wobblers mostly, so I'll get those installed too

Another 53 ish eggs into the incubator. Seeing how many chicks I get from this. Usually get around 25-28. But you have deaths and also 50/50 male to female. Think I have 16 still alive from the last round of hatchings.
So possibility of 8 males becoming roasts.
I need around 44 more roasts to supply myself with one roast per week each year. Just cycling now to see how many runs I need to do to make it to that approximate number.
Simple math says 7-8 runs of the incubator a year. But I may have less or more deaths per cycle each time but that's what I am figuring out now and I'll share my data once I know

System updates chicken coop #2348 Garden beds removed.
The idea was good in concept but just annoying in execution and in the way. Couldn't grow within them fast enough (hard clay soils, etc) so left the two outer barrier beds and will update the soil in those and will add two small gardens that I'll grow hops up the archway still and some bushy stuff that can escape through the wire protecting the hops.
Will add a roosting bar across where the garden was in that last pic, because the chickens seem to enjoy sitting on the garden wire hoop house that was there and watch the sunset and who am I to shit on or take away their comforts and traditions haha
