The Chickens Are at the UGLY Stage!

Chickens are flying the coop to their new coop this weekend.

WE FINALLY BROKE GROUND!!!!

Forrest, Gary, and I got motivated and began to prepare the soil for our vegetable garden!!! I am so freakin' excited!!!! I can feel the my spine tingling! We have so much space..... need to plant anything? Gary moved the earth.... so much easier with Tractors. We are still working on the chicken coop which will be adjacent to the garage and garden.

The Chickens are GROWING!!

So Forrest built the girls and maybe boy a new habitat that glows all night long.

We have Chickens!!

Spring Has Sprung!!

My good friend Maggie made me move farther into the technological world today. May I present............ My blog!!! She pointed out that I have been pretty busy and that I am somewhat removed from my family & friends since heading to the hills. What better way to keep in touch and present the comings and goings, the fixings and breaking's', the makings and takings 'round here?

Now that Forrest, Rosie, and I are officially 'Country', it became necessary that we collect some barnyard animals......................We've talked of getting chickens for months. The time arrived. 12 in all. 4 each Buff Orpingtons, Rhode Island Reds, and Barred Rocks. I have never shared my living quarters with actual livestock. Forrest and I think we may have a mis-sexed bird. In other words a Rooster. If so, we may be eating chicken earlier than we planned.
