These chicks are wanting to know when their new chicken coops and runs will be ready to move into.   Hubby took off work for the rest of the week to get them built and I snapped some pictures this morning of the beginning process.

The chickens we got from a friend last year live happily in the coop on the right.  Little do they know they are about to have neighbors move in next door.  Hubby is adding on 2 more coops and pens. 

Each pen will have its own gate and water faucet and coop to house the different varieties of chickens.

I'll post a step by step photo stream of the process from start to finish when its done.  Here's a picture of Rusty and Louise enjoying themselves down by the work site.

I love that moss. We only live a couple of hours from you and do not have that. Anyway, I can't wait to see the progress on the coops. We have baby chicks now too but last year we made a heavy duty brooder box that will hold them a while longer.
Blessings,

Karen,

Looks like you are still hard at work! Love the name Rusty for the pup. He looks like one! (:
The lobster up here is iincredible, however in my twenties I developed allergies to shell fish. It was terrible! First, it made me sick to my stomach then my glands would swell. Yuck! I seem to have grown out of it a bit. I am able to eat shrimp, but not crab meat. As hard as it is, I will stay away from the shrimp. Maine has great mussels, clams, and shrimp. The haddock and salmon is great too. We are lucky to have a fish market a few miles away that brings in fresh seafood every morning. (Just caught.)
I better get back to the grind! Have a terrific day!

Jennifer
