oh I didin't mean you are breeding them, but that my friend Dyann is breeding them. So if you ever want them again she can be a source

A couple of hours and a hundred bucks later the motor home has been pulled from the mud! Tomorrow, along with the boat, it is going into storage! I am taking the keys and hiding them!

On a more fun note, we moved the nine Thanksgiving Icelandic babies to the barn coop and free range last night. I went down this morning to see how they survived their first night. I moved them after dark off their roosts. Other than scuffling with Lukka's big fat adult baby, they were fine. Three of them were even in line waiting for the pop door to open! They had no idea what the line was for but they were in it anyway.

They handled themselves really well today except for a couple of technical errors.

It started out well enough, everyone in their own space.

Then the babies decided to introduce themselves to our visitors from Canada.

Not a smart move.

That did not go well at all.

Still determined, they decided the two big dufuses looked friendly enough and made their way over to chat.

That did not end well either.

They eventually gave up.

They spent the rest of the day staying out of everyone's way, running, digging and playing, free-range style!

That is sooo funny. They are brave babies and looks like they had a really fun day! Your pictures really are the best. I love reading all of your adventures.

P.S. I think I'm getting hooked on the Icelandics....
I do have 8 acres and 2 empty humongous commerical coops. 40' x 500' each. We will be moving my birds out to one them this spring. I am planning in a few extra pens, just in case my chicken math is off........

Mary! I thought Michael was the dufus though!

Afterall, the donkeys didn't get the land yacht stuck in the mud!
