I really like the paint color, too - it's so cheerful! I need to get some paint on my coop; it's looking a little tired.

I only have two black am hens, and neither of them are laying yet. I did get five eggs yesterday (out of 17 girls), so that's step back in the right direction.

It's supposed to be super windy today - I hope everybody is ready.

Allison, WOW! WOW! WOW! The coop/enclosure looks wonderful.

I am so amazed at women power. Mainly because I cannot hit a nail with a hammer. Such as life I suppose.

It was a beautiful day yesterday but it is getting a little windy now. Cloudy and the sun is trying to peak out. I am sitting on the patio listening to the boys sing and the neighbor's pigeon flying over head and also listening to the birds chatter. Music to my ears.

I finally brought my turkey's from the old house to the new and they seem to be adjusting well. The chickens forgot about them and one of my AM hens went up to the turkey and went WHOA and ran back in the coop. So funny. I wish I had a shot of that but it was barely 6 in the morning.

All of a sudden the ladies are pumping the eggs out. I am a bit surprised because it is COLD and I do not use lights at all. Don't really know how many I have at this point. I guess I should go and count but I am afraid I may scare myself. Been getting 36 +/- a day. As of yesterday, another AM hen wants to be a mom. She has been pretty determined. Not sure what I am going to do yet. Not really wanting another batch of barnyard specials. I may just buy some eggs to let her sit on them.

Have a GREAT day everyone!

I can't nail to save my life, it's all put together with screws and Strong ties. Maybe a nail here and there.
I've never done anything on this scale before so just goes to show you that you probably could do it, just need confidence
in yourself!

Yes, it's super windy. I came in to make a phone call but now I'm not wanting to go back out. I have a head cold and I get migraines in
the wind....but I will because there's work to be done. Dave is putting the shingles on the roof for me. I'm glad 'cause I don't like being more than
three feet off the ground, plus it's one less thing for me to do.

I may put my favorite EE in with the bantams since there'll be room. She's my fave and I'd hate to have something get her. She loves everyone
and everything. If a hawk or coyote came into the yard she'd probably run to them.

Me too, I LOVE the color scheme!!!
