I would have thought Silkie lived 40 miles out into the country. That aerial shot says everything about her and the way she wants to live.

Posted these before, but I'll repost a few. We have about five and a half acres, but three of them are for sale at the moment. Wanna be my neighbor, LOL?

Isn't that cute, she hangs up the CD's so the chickens can choose what they want to listen to every morning at breakfast. What a great chicken person!


AllChookup, tell us again what a horse-loafing barn is? (Besides a chicken paradise.)

 

[AllChookUp]

Buff & all - A "loafing barn" is basically a barn that has one side open (usually to the south), for horses to go into and eat (hay storage), and maybe get out of the sun, wind, rain, etc. It doubles as a storage place for tools and feed.

I guess that's what I've always heard it referred to as. Maybe it's one of those regional terms.


BTW, speckledhen - I absolutely LOVE your porch. I've always wanted something like that to sit on and rock during a rainstorm or on a quiet evening. Our split-level house doesn't have anything like that. I just built a huge pole barn, and I'm planning to convert part of one entrance area to a covered porch.

Here is mine home out in the country on 20 acres.

The hen house/run in progress...now done.

I have BIG plans for this huge building! I plan on making several breeding kennels out of it

But I have to wait until my FIL makes his own. He's using ours now. We don't have anything really to put in it so it's ALL mine after we clean it out

It may be a year or two but I can wait.

And here is the last building on our property. This is my hubby's piece of heaven. He has a wood stove and a computer in there. It's all he needs

I envy everyone elses home out in the country! No transients sleeping in your trees, kids taking your stuff, and police crawling all over the place when they are setting blockades up for someone they are looking for runs off. Granted... like how the power NEVER goes out, the highway is always plowed, police will come within 5 minutes of a call, hospital (great for older parents), groceries of all types, malls and everything modern is within a 5-10 minute drive or even a walk if you dare doge the cars on the highway... or walk between them when it's stop and go.

Grandfather bought the acerage we live on like 70 years ago when highway 99 was one lane each way and a grass strip, instead of five, and the house was 1 on Route 99. As soon as my dad runs out of retirement, no way we will be able to pay the taxes on it... it's just too bad.
