Getting the flock out of here - a diary of a crazy chicken man

[Bulldogma]

I managed to dislocate my ring finger when I was loading luggage onto the scanner. It was rather surreal seing my finger bend in the joint 45 degrees sideways. I tugged on it and relocated it but it really puffed up during the flight

my second dawn on new years day. The sun over clouds below was spectacular

Los Angeles.

Welcome home, Oz! Sorry about your finger! OUCH! Hope you got some ice to hold on it while you were in flight.

the new breeder coops



In the background are the original coops and Bernie's house



Breeder coops are 10x4 foundation with a 4x4 "coop" above. I will give 16 sq ft complete shelter with the same as partial shelter and 6x4 open.

The foundation is to prevent dogs digging and to ceep coco lumber off the ground





the rear of the 6 breeder coops. the slats are bamboo to which the thatch (partially in view) will be woven.




the fishing boats were in close - just over our fence



my outside - siesta bed. the duck man made it from mahogany

Apparently I have a thing for the letter P,because I can't decide if I'm more jealous of the pigs or the plumeria!

Mrs Oz is a gorilla gardener. We have at least 20 Plumeria variations from all over the world.

I threatened to put a sign on the back of our car when on vacation that says: CAUTION, WE STOP SUDDENLY FOR PLUMERIA

The pigs are very friendly. They all got a round of vaccinations this trip.
