Here are most of the Pictures I took today. Some of the pictures are large.

From the Front Porch out to Forsythia Hedge: Front
WoodPiles: Snow 3
Up from the Mixed Bantam Lot: House
My truck ain't going anywhere: Truck
These Hens aren't coming out, so I put their food and water in the house: HenHouse
3 Dutch hens on the ground, Pigie(white cochin) and her 4 month old babies that she raised on the perches: Dutch Pen
Freerange bantams in the cleared area in front of their house: Bantams

There was enough crust to support her weight until: Oops

I can and will rebuild it. It is just too useful not too. I moved the last group out of it on Nov 28th, so it was vacant. I hope the house in the back is intact.

I like how you've got your ladders hung up on the buildings although, how do you get them down?

Great pics and nice place, thanks for sharing! LOL at Barbara, she doesn't look to be having much fun!

Just before she started following me she was rolling around with a snow ball. She figured out that if she jumped straight into the snow it would "pop" out a chunk of snow and she would have another "toy".

I am glad I am on the other side of the state from you!

If you look closely the highest part goes into a loop that is on the building, the bottom is then lifted and hung on a fixed hook. Just reach up and take down the bottom and stand it up. The top comes free as you do.

We still have about 3 inches of snow on the ground, but there are some bare spots starting to emerge where runoff is melting it faster. Roads are clear.
