This one is for the chickens. We’re up to three coops now. Neighbours asked if we wanted their old chicken house, unused for several decades and not needed or wanted by the current generation. Laura, who had ordered day-old chicks in May to replace some of the tired old layers, and who had also hatched out several dozen exotic varieties (Chocolate Orpingtons, Lavender Orpingtons, and some more Ameraucanas) in the incubator, jumped at the offer. Laura and Davy spent an afternoon fixing the door, windows, and getting it ready for occupancy and winter. Next spring or summer it’ll get a coat of red paint to match the other two coops.
Getting ready for the trailer,
On the move from their farm to ours,
At home,
Some of Laura’s chickens (photographed by her last month), some of whom will be getting a new home,
What lucky chickens, that’s a wonderful home!
You know, if Laura ever felt like posting photos of each breed, that would be really interesting to this former chicken rancher. We only had your basic egg laying white chickens back in the 70s, and some of Laura’s are just beautiful.
Just an idea. Ignore at will. :)
I will tell her, Penny : ) . Thanks!
