One of the projects we worked on this morning was setting up a fence so that the layer chicks can go outside. Unfortunately, that didn't go very well, as we were having trouble getting the fence to hold a charge. It's really important for the fence to be set up properly, not just to keep them in, but to keep predators out. Eventually, it was lunchtime, so we decided to teak a break and come back to it.
After lunch we split up to do chores and work on the fence, but while I was collecting eggs a storm blew in. It was quick and fierce and beautiful. A lightning storm isn't the best time to be working on electrical projects, so that was abandoned for tomorrow. I was nervous enough just making my way back with the eggs, which involves crossing a couple of fences. No worries though, I made it back fine. Everyone ended up straggling back to the barn and we watched the last of the rain fall and the sun come back.
