Our Mixed Flock Journey!

Glad you liked the recipe Rene, cute bottle!



Nice work!

Good morning and thank you Debby!

Oh gosh.. this is all so beautiful!!! And great idea on the paint room!!
I think I may attempt to post before pics as well.. but it’s all just pretty ugly that I’m not sure I want the world to see it

Thank you WhoDat! The paint room worked out great! I'm going to take before pictures also! I wish I would have done that with the powder room, but that was back in 2011 and it was a bit of a rush job! The laundry room had a linoleum floor, the washer & dryer and just a folding table...it took us over 20 years to get around to finishing it...lol! I'm really looking forward to seeing your projects too!

I stand in awe of both of you. All I am doing is very slowly extending the electric fence around the Chicken Palace!

My husband is a total DIYer...I couldn't do a fraction of the jobs we do, without him! I'm good at coming up with ideas and he's good at making it happen! Putting in electric fencing isn't a totally easy job either...depending on ground conditions and other factors it's a lot of work!

I can't wait to see what you do!
I'll share for sure. We did our powder room several years ago & the laundry last year. After the kitchen we will be doing our master bath & we might make some changes in our bedroom. Then we will do the kids bath. Hopefully that will be the end of it.
I'm sharing a picture of our laundry...we put in new tile(it matches the powder room) my husband & I built the cabinets & painted them. The only cabinets he didn't build for our house are the ones in our kitchen...we were pretty wiped out from building the house...so we decided to have them built. I really didn't want to paint & stain the kitchen cabinets, but it would cost us over $5k to have it done...so here we go again!

Love it! We never finished & are now renovating. I'm good with ideas but not so good @ the practical application...

Thank you!
That's the same place we are...we have areas that we never finished and are now renovating too...like my laundry room...lol! I'm good at coming up with ideas too...I can do the practical application after my husband figures out what needs to be done and how it needs to be done...

I went out to take care of the Chicks & Bunnies this morning & all of the chickens except for my Marans Roosters were inside the enclosed pen! The Marans were just outside of it. As I came closer the hawk flew out of trees. I'm so relieved that the flock has become so vigilant. He landed in another tree in my yard...I couldn't get a good shot...so I tried to zoom in instead. He's a good sized bird! Not the best picture!

He knows you have dinner on the foot around.

I know...hopefully he is scared off for now!
