Is this “dark” to you?

This is my machine and this is a loaf of half all-purpose & half whole wheat flour. I set it to the dark setting and this is what I get. Doesn’t seem very dark to me, though it’s good and I enjoy it. I’m just curious if it’s supposed to be darker? Anyone have any other experience where it comes out darker than this? If this is dark, I don’t ever see needing to use the other two lighter settings. Not for bread at least. Maybe it would be different if this was all white flower. Thoughts?

Coop help please - location location location!

Asking for a little help. We have a coop that we bought years ago and I’ve always felt the design was crappy, but it was well made/sturdy and we were moving so we needed something ASAP. We’ve made it work for all these years, but we’re now deciding to move it from where it is to another spot and re-engineered it a little bit. It’s currently under what we would now call a few if you precarious trees. We had leveled off the run and under the house in its current spot. Now no matter where we want to go in the yard away from the concerning trees the ground is on slanted hill. Every coop I see on here is on flat ground and I am so damn jealous! Any tips for a new inclosure on a hillside? Any suggestions other than just digging everything out? We’re mostly on hard rocky dirt so it’s really one step forward two steps back. Hard to work with. Has anybody figured out this scenario to create a good environment that is still protected from
predators without digging to China to make a proper Fort Knox? Someone here has to have figured out something different. Photos welcome!

It’s a bench that probably takes a bit more caution

I would think when you’re feeling good you try the hanging one, when you’re pooped you use the one to the left.

Who else thinks, “Ah I’m sure it’s not too bad,,,”

Then washes it and finds, yes yes I did need to wash it! Can’t be just me, right?
