Catching up on the coop progress

Well, the coop is finally finished! Yoash and Naomi worked hard to get it done so the chickens could move from their cramped garage quarters to the Palace! They're very happy chickens now and we are patiently waiting for eggs! Yoash noticed a falling-down old barn nearby and we asked the owner for some wood. Yoash and Naomi artfully crafted the wood into siding for the Palace and it looks great!

First warm day of spring!

Well, the coop is finally finished and it is sooo beautiful! The chickens are all enjoying their new space and have developed a routine. When the humans get up in the morning, they go out to the coop and open the door to let the chickens spill out into the yard for some breakfast of leftover strawberry tops, melon rinds and fresh clover. At night, they chickens, one by one, go into the house for bed and take their places on the roost. Kate or Karen then closes up the door so they're all tucked in for the night, safe from predators. Most nights, all the chicks are lined up together on the top rung of the roost!

Now, the landscaping begins around the coop to beautify the chickens' surroundings!
