Chickens, Part Three

So The Girls are getting huge and are needing their new home soon.

We do think that at least two of The Girls are probably The Boys. The Barred Rocks above are the biggest of the flock and have a suspiciously proprietorial attitude when we clean the bedding or change the water or food. It’s still too early to tell for sure but we are keeping our eye on them.

JD has made some great progress on their new digs - which they will definitely need before we leave for Colorado in three weeks.

All that’s left is to cut and attach the roof panels, bury and attach the fencing and add a few more panels and a door to the house.

I think JD will be glad to be done with this project. The weather is trying to get a little more spring like with the lilacs and apple trees blooming away:

and there are lots of projects that need attention including our vegetable garden plans (containers on the deck or a fenced area with boxes, we aren’t sure yet), finishing the inside of the garage, and a dozen other maintenance projects like fencing repairs, trimming the goats’ and llama’s hooves, mowing the pasture, etc.

Happy Spring to everyone!
