The girls exploring their new home. We kept the nesting boxes covered for the first week to make sure they didn't start to think they were for sleeping at night. The low roost is visible here, but the high roost that lets them look out the window is above the camera.

This is Veronica. She loves to hop on your lap or arm of your chair and talk to us.

I learned my lesson after the last fence we installed in this rocky soil. This is way better on my body than a post hole digger. Faster too since it was raining shortly after I finished putting in the support posts.

We wanted them to know where home and their roost were, so the girls were kept in the coop for about a week before we allowed them out in the run. Here one of the Bard's is tentatively exploring for the first time.

Because of my years working in the emergency medical field, I know the value of good safety equipment. I was cutting a kerf in this 2x4 when what looked like a small knot exploded in my face.I had several shrapnel welts on my face, and the right lense on my safety glasses was hit so hard, it pushed the glasses up on my nose. I'm pretty sure my eye would not have survived a hit like that.
