Well, RD does have a sinus infection. But it didn't storm for too long.

Still a few small things to do. However -----------------

With all that water I see now why youns built that dog house up on stilts. Just kidding good job guys .

When do the new tenants arrive? Here's a thought, lay a board on the ground and a few days later turn it over and watch the chickens go crazy over the exposed bugs.

Dode - possibly this afternoon. Waiting to hear back on a time frame from my "chicken girl". The birds I'm buying were raised as part of an FFA project.

I'll try and post a better pic, but there is a lot of old wood in the west end of the run. That stuff was intentionally included in the run area, hence the bend in the fence. Several years ago we had plans to burn it off in an outdoor pit (even at that point it was over-dry and starting to decompose). However, when I started moving it from that pile area to the middle of the yard (where the pit was) I discovered it had termites. So I stopped moving it because I wasn't going to give those buggers a free ride closer to the house!

So I have a feeling the hens will be doing a buggy happy dance for several days when they arrive.

Awesome! Looks great!

Birds are getting delivered at 4pm today!

I'm so excited, I'm nearly bouncing around! LOL

[Dode]

Does that mean you'll post some pics?

[Gwynmael]

LOL, of course.

Congrats...that's a lot of work. I hope that you enjoy your eggs, and that they are plentiful. How many hens are you getting? I know that you answered that before, but I'm too lazy to look it up.

RD, I hope that you feel better soon.

Come on! You're killing us. MOAR pics!!!!!!

[Gwynmael]

Sorry!!! Was getting them settled in and then (one at a time) bringing the dogs out. Hmmm, this is going to take some work.

Raven was the calmest, but she was also the only one drooling! LOL

Kick - I got 10.
The young lady and her Father delivered them. Even clipped their wings (only one side per bird) and showed me how to do it.

[DMH]

They look right at home. Nice looking birds!

FINALLY! Thank you.
