See what I mean about these darn trees. This limb is huge. Like a big tree falling from 30' in the air. Again lucky I wasn't under it. Goes all the way to the brush pile.

Silver, you must have came into the thread just as I was posting my final good night!!

I was so tired, my eyes were all messed up from working in the dirt, dirt in my contacts..

..not fun. I actually had to flush out my eyes with contact solution
I have a pic of the progress to post. The only thing that is not in the pic is the wire on the top back 2/3. We did that last night after I got the pic......after dark.......I have decided to go with a thatched roof. I have no idea what the hail I am doing, but that is what the internet is for, RIGHT!?!




So, what do y'all think so far? I don't have a house built for them yet, but they seem to be doing well so far. They like to sleep on the patch of grass,

and eat it too.....

. Stupid ducks, you'd think they would leave one area nice, poop on the dirt floor, but NNNOOOOOOO, they want to poop in the grass and LAY in it.......

I robbed that young sabal palm to the left in the top pic for thatching materials.......the fronds were in the way of progress, and they will come back soon. I have a couple large ones that really could use a trim, but the leaves that need to come off are all old and brown....

I think I want to put them on there green, more pliable to work with, and I think it will settle and dry nicely if it all settles together, So, I am sending DH down the road for palm fronds whenever he gets back from feeding the LF...

......I swear he takes 2 hours to feed 30 frikin chickens......
What is the deal with that, is it just a stupid guy thing.....

is he communing with the chickens, or what!?!
OMG, come on

there is work to do, and lots of it!!!!!!!!
Takes me about 1/2 an hour, including travel time for 5 miles one way....
gathering eggs......
going through locked gates, even!!

OK, so now i am going to look up how to thatch that thing. Hopefully I will get that part done today...I am only going to thatch about 2/3 of it so they have shade. The rest I am going to leave open, so they can get sun and rain too....they seem to like the rain....

My chickens are weird. The go out rain or shine. It appears they like a nice shower and the worms the showers bring. The teenage chicken girls I have, run into the coop when it rains or the wind blows too hard. It appears the teens have more sense than the adult.

Tinker Bell is a fairy, you know. She's probably buzzing around my bull pine out back, hanging around with the humming birds.

wendi...have i evered claimed to be anything less than a goofball lol

i think with my bantam the 3 bigger guys are mille de fleur and the youngest two might actually be tiny mixes...tiny was a serema...they are colored a lot like him !!!!! which would be awesome...

sick baby didnt make it

but i think that might have been the one that was in with oz and if so it jumped a pretty good distance to get in the other container and that might be what happened ....it was eating and drinking fine again last night but was still lethargic when i went to bed...gave meds n sav a chick and even fed it some yolk....like my sis says i guesss...some just dont make it....but the other ten seem hale n hearty this morning so praying that was the problem with that one !!!

sitting here is not getting anything done..guess i will make me some coffee and at least get woke up good...
