Prudence, the buff Orpington in the back is pretty cautious about anything new, but the little ladies are diving right in! 8-)

A sweet treat for my little flock - a great way to cool down on a hot, hot, hot day!

Here are two of the youngsters - they are delightful and provide lots of entertainment. No names yet, but they have my heart already!

This is Ludmila - she is charming, but I do not know what breed she is. She's very sweet natured and sound like a pigeon or a turtle dove when she talks, which is often.

Here's my oldest bird - she Prudence and she's a bit cautious. The rest eat from my hand and I can handle them. Pridence and I are still getting acquainted (but it has only been a week).

The first week I had the birds, we had record temperatures, a scary heat wave! It was 109 degrees! So the coop promptly resembled Redneck-Row when I added a sheet (which provided shade and which I hosed down periodically to provide cooler air. I used a fan and I also hosed down the roof frequently and gave my girls extra water.

I brought my little flock home in a dog carrier. There are two older (approx 12 weeks) gilrs and 4 younger (18-10 weeks-old). 3 are Buff Orppingtons, 2 are Barred Rocks and the last girls is an indeterminate bred, but is very sweet and talkative too. They arrived the last week of June 2012. They settled in quite happily.

This is the view from our pergola. The Butterfly bush provides afternoon shade and helps screen the coop from the neighbors a bit.

These doors open to a storage area for feed and such. I have planted 4 O'Clocks and Hollyhocks around the coop. There is a climbing rose bush on the left.
