Cluck-tastic treehouse upgrade: predator-proof, chicken-approved, kid-abandoned.
Three months. That's how long it's been since the kids abandoned their treehouse to the elements, and honestly? Best decision we never saw coming. Instead of letting it rot, someone got clever and gave that old wooden fortress a serious glow-up. The goal? Make it so predator-proof that even the craftiest raccoon would just throw up its little paws and walk away. It took extra long, sure, but good things come to those who wait (and measure twice, probably). And the payoff? The chickens are still safe. All of them. No fowl play detected. It's the kind of patient, slightly obsessive energy that reminds me of that other post about the fluffy Marans Froment chicks napping in a towel.
