My 100 foot Peafowl Barn was DESTROYED tonight! 😪

Thank goodness all the birds are okay, and that you have people who have the skills to rebuild. And, that the power is back on!

I'll look forward to hearing about the progress.

I see where Gov. Kim just signed a disaster declaration for more than 40 of our counties. Are you in one of those?

Nope. We live in Wayne and it's not listed. Figured as much.

I'm glad you and your peas are okay.

So there are still 3 walls of the Peafowl barn left, the back wall was destroyed. The poles were weak and broke off.
My 11 Peafowl that were in that barn are all alive and well. They are staying within the area of the barn so far.
My husband and father-in-law are missing work today to figure out how to fix the building and the chimney.
Nothing else has damage, except for my duck kennel. (no ducks are in it during the winter)
We lost power for 3 hours.

So glad to hear it wasn't as bad as it sounded last night.

WOW! Just snapped that bad boy right off at the ground, huh? That's crazy. I have two pole barns on the property. Well, one is on mine and one is next door. With the wind we've been getting I'm glad they are both standing.

A little humor - hopefully to brighten your day.

Last night your post was the last one I read before heading to bed. I told my husband about the storms and your peafowl barn.
He asks, "What's a peafowl barn?"
I said, "A barn for peafowl."
He asked, "What's peafowl?"

I said, "You know peacocks and peahens."

He says, "Don't use your fancy bird words on me."

He uses that phrase a lot when I use "fancy" (intellectual) words, but with him being a farmer as a kid and into all the farm clubs, I didn't think peafowl was a "fancy" word.

My husband, my father-in-law, my oldest son and I have been working all day and the Peafowl now have a fixed Peafowl Barn. And we are bone tired.
My husband and father-in-law got the chimney fixed too.

We had some wind in Oregon too the past week. All the tarps on the run ripped and the chicken run almost flipped over. Glad your okay hope you’ve recuperated!

I really don’t think my parents would know what peafowl are either! I take care of all my 21 animals to be honest I don’t even think my parents know what they eat.. my mom was really surprised to learn my two bunnies ate hay! I’ve spent a lot of research on my animals!
