Brigitt

Brigitt is due to have kids on March 31. This is her first time, so I'm paying extra close attention - as of last night no signs that birth is beginning yet. I need to dig a drainage ditch from the front of her house, so the muck and water that is accumulating there will flow away. Don't need a baby to fall into that mess!

Hmmm ............can't seem to get Brigitt's picture to load.

Spring Snow Storms

Remember last year when we had the heavy April snow storm and the chicken pen collapsed - refer to the posting 5/3/09 - well I'm happy to report that the two - 2 foot heavy wet snow we've had this past week have NOT damaged the newly built pens/coops. Even the flight netting is doing better than chicken wire overhead.

Thanks Trish and Nancy for helping build a great chicken home last summer!

Coop under construction.

Flight netting is great to pull over the top of the pens.


Now for this spring projects we need to fix the gate between the large hens and the bantams so that the netting doesn't get caught ever time you open it.

Also Anderson has been making holes in the netting where it drapes into the goat pen. It seems to be great fun to rub your horns around in the netting and then tear... hope the foxes don't find these openings!

Arlo's Worldview

I'm going to be 2 years old on March 30. Mom Lori says I should be full grown soon. Here's a recent picture of me. My coats a little rough - guess I need deworming....

Arlo said he has posted on the blog - so I want to too!!! But mostly I just want to hang out with the people. I had my 1st birthday on Mar 3, didn't do much, but the weather was nice.
