Omg!
We have a large sofa in our bedroom which is on my husbands side of the room... Which by the way, I just happened to kneel on last night in order to look out the window so that I could see the chicken coop. So I guess I must have messed up the cushions a little. But! That's a darn good...

With my Congo African Gray parrot I raised him from his hatch with no feathers, and all the hand feedings. Nail & wing clippings -etc. He was just like a baby...
I have a little garden by my coop which I plan on covering with plastic -converting it into a green house so that I can get an early start on my seedlings next year. The simple 2x2 frame is already up.

I'm new to BYC, but have been lurking for about a year researching as much as I could before ordering my first chicks.
This site has been super helpful, and I'm looking forward to interacting with other chicken enthusiasts.
My flock consists of some really great chickies... i just love them...
