A couple more inches to go.
This looks nasty but at least it didn’t stink and didn’t have fly strike. A young cockerel has been looking a bit pale and his neck feathers looked odd. He had a small scab on top of a big knot on his neck. So I cleaned it out and flushed it with warm salt water and filled the hole with NuStock (a concoction of pine tar and sulfur in a lanolin base. It will keep out flies and prevent infections. He wasn’t looking too good when I put him back in his pen so we just have to wait and see.
A wooden gate post set into a cement wall has rotted out.
I have a metal one to replace it but no way to clean out the rotten wood out of the hole. Will have to think on this. I don’t have the time or energy to break out the wall.
I worked half the day today and have half a day tomorrow. Things are moving slowly along. Almost dark time for food and bed.
