It started out as a long range project.
As long as the great "isolation" lasts,
my husband and son would dabble around building the future
chicken yard. Eventually, it would be perfect --
and then we would get the poultry.
The same day I took these pics,
I went to the grocery store. NO EGGS.
I told the lady at the counter,
no problem. I live in the country,
everyone has "Eggs For Sale". Nope.
She said that the two people she knew with
"layers" have a waiting list for the eggs.
Then I made the mistake of looking for laying hens
on Craigslist. Everybody wants them right now.
For the same reason I do.
Gorgeous, right?
Suddenly, I need them now now NOW!
So, my poor husband is going into overdrive.
Pouring concrete on the coop floor.
Hanging a gate.
Perfect chicken living quarters will have to wait --
I want to pick up my chickens this weekend.
You'll enjoy them. Chickens are funny. I love mine.
ReplyDeleteI am really looking forward to them. a friend of mine had chickens, we would just sit in a lawn chair and make up conversations for them. can't wait.
