I am a farmer wanna be, so have 2 dogs a cat, 12 flower beds, a garden, and have spent this past vaca week building the coop and run around my kids old swing set and fort. Have 5 pullets and a banty hen now and am loving my backyard "farm". Will post pics when it is done!

Finally getting to post w great news, my girls, which i got in July, started laying the week before Christmas!! Couldn't believe it as that is when shortest amount of daylight!! I haven't even used the solar light, afraid I will confuse them and they will stop, lol. Will post a pic as soon as I figure that out!
