Almost Ready to Lay

Well, we have our flock reduced to 10 now. After finding out that Chicken Little was a little fella...we found a great place for him to live with his two brooder-mates, Maggie and Jasman. They didn't come from the same hatch but grew up together so I really thought that it was best to not separate them. A really nice lady from the South Tucson took them in and is giving them a great life. Thank you so much Julie.

I am getting ready to do yet another modification to the hen house. I am going to take another Little Tykes playhouse (cottage, if you will) cut out the south wall and attach it to the other Log Cabin. Then, I will reconfigure the inside of the house with a couple more nesting boxes and some new and improved roosts for the girls. Want them to be cozy and safe and certainly protected from the elements.

We have added a new bunny, Lovehearts, to our small farm outside. He is a nice addition to our family so far and hopefully teaching the boys a little more about how much care and love animals NEED. Although I am seemingly the primary caregiver to Lovehearts the rest of the family is pitching in. I will post progress to the add on as I get going.
