New chicken tractor condo. Barred Rocks and the little red headed hen from next door. She has a crush on the rooster.


The main flock.....for eggs.



The two naughty kids. They wouldn't go to the coop last night, and the red cockerel ran off after the little red headed hen. Had to retrieve him from the neighbors pen. Her critters...were not happy!

The goats were not liking him, her cockerel was pretty miffed, the 3 peacocks as flew to the shed roof, her hens were trying to hide. So, he is on house arrest. He still can eat grass etc.....just not free range anymore. Game pullet, is just too stubborn.

NO FAIR!!! YOU have a Kubota with a backhoe behind door #2. The paint don't even looked like it as been in dirt yet, how can that happen?

I am in the process of doing a few in the next few weeks French drains that is. I will post pics of progress and finished product. I have 2 open coops and 1 slightly flooded when we had 11 inches of rain a few weekends ago . I use sand in my coops so it drains quick but still need the drains

Thanks Hangtown!
I appreciate it very much! I tried talking to my DH about French drains and he looked at me like I was crazy. He's an old fashioned county cowboy and does not see any since in all the fuss.. lol
I will likely go to sand next year and just use pine shaving this year. I am afraid if we don't do something that the pens will be flooded! I have seen that pasture flooded pretty good. In fact right now I could not go out without rubber boots cuz the water is still ankle deep.

If you can find larger sand it's less dusty

Chickadoodles - oh my. I wish and pray you will feel like yourself again - hopefully the arrival of spring will speed recovery along.

X's 2!

Ran across these and figured I'd share.

These are really cute.

Why don't they let you keep the red headed hen? They could visit her whenever they want.

Got about 4 inches of light, fluffy snow last night. Came out this morning to find fox tracks all over; it circled the chickens and goats and ducks, and then came back to the ducks. Tried valiantly to get into the duck house, but the chain link fence wasn't budging. Thankfully. Duckies will be staying inside today. I just got the fox head from last spring back from the taxidermist not too long ago. Maybe tonight I'll get another fox head for my collection.

And another 2-3 inches of snow predicted for this evening.
