Finally starting my walk in coop. Want to follow?

Looking good!
How’s Roopecca and your new pullets?

 

[Cryss]

Roopecca, being in a temporary bachelor pad (the coop you gave mel only see them from a short distance. Can't wait to move him into his permanent bachelor pad (the original coop). The babies are doing great. Had to put netting around the dog cage cuz the white legbar is so small, younger than her roommates, I'm worried she can push through. Then again that might be a good thing cuz she could push back inside
Planning to remove netting tomorrow, my day off. Then they can get their heads through to say hello better.

So we went to bed last night looking forward to having the power repaired today. I woke up at 6am, put on my boots cuz we had a big thunderstorm last night, picked up the chicken feeders, stepped out the back door, and froze in place. Remember the previous picture?

Ok here's what I woke to.

And from the south end...

That lovely, perfect shade tree, the one I dreamed of putting a tree house in for the grandkids, was blown down in the storm last night. After I began breathing again I found that all the chickens were unharmed. Now to get this taken care of before all our hard work on this coop and run are squashed. Wish me luck.
Oh, yeah, and we don't want the inground pool to be damaged either. That's what is behind that wooden fence where the top of the tree hangs.

Oh thank God that tree didn’t fall on your coop!

It's balancing above the coop using top branches at the pool end and the broken trunk down the hill behind the coop. I believe the Lord protected them.

OHNooooo!!!
Oh Cryss, that's terrible, I'm so sorry that happened to you!!
Gonna need a good treeman to get that down without further damage.

On the plus side you will get free mulch and roosts for the chickens.
Well not free, but you know what I mean.

Oh yeah, I'm already sizing up branches!

Thanks, yeah, I'm working on estimates but its taking forever. Apparently we aren't the only ones that this happened to. Imagine that!
And to think I slept through that storm and the tree falling.
