Beautiful... Seal up the windows on the playhouse in the background and it can be their summer home. If I find one of those at the curb; I'm dragging it home and converting it.. Now they even have castles.I can see it now My husband would kill me

This is a side view of my coop:


The original exercise pen is the part on the left; we added the much bigger back-side just this month. I closed off the mini-exercise pen and put an old dog crate in there that didn't have a gate on it anymore. I've left them outside on the nicer days but brought them back in at night. I'm wondering if there's any harm in just integrating them into the flock full-on when I put them out for good though, since it is such a small flock (3 adults, 2 chicks). The Welsummer was hatched on 4/11/12, and the bantam chick that came from Roberta hatched probably a week later? 4/18? Roberta do you know SHE hatched, lol?

Of course I am noticing her squeaks are more rhythmic than the older chicks - she's just practicing to make a crowing noise, right? Argh!(!*)$#$_!!

Oooh. Good idea. I could put a small play castle in their new run. I wonder who would wind up being queen?

Ok I will bring Elvis's tree and a few silkie chicks as a late house warming gift, make room. I just told that story to some one else about the 100 acorns in my boots & they almost peed their pants. All we have is Long Island Medium so I want you to take me to where the Mob Wives hang out and there will be plenty of laughing girl friend! Vinny cant believe I like that show

You set a date and I am here! I think some newf peeps might be what the dr. ordered. I am bored to tears with no babies around to grin over and spoil.

Just so I have this straight, we are meeting at Roberta's table at 12:30 on saturday? Anyone staying for the rodeo?

I am going to bring a copy of extraordinary chickens for the auction and some other stuff for the bake sale for the club. Also, does anyone need/want anything from the tractor supply in sussex if I make a run? or from the clove brook bakery? I go there at least twice a week. I should buy stock in tractor supply and go on a diet...
