chicken coop pics March 7

Here we go!! The start of the Poultry Palace! We have a great weekend to get a good start on our new coop.

On March 7, Carole, Gary, Bill, and I began work on building a new chicken coop. After losing a couple of chickens to an unknown predator a couple of months ago, we decided the chickens could use a home of their own where they could be a little safer. Materials were donated, Carole, Gary, and Bill provided the muscle power, and the work began. We had several volunteers stop by during the day to provide some extra hands. Thanks to everyone who gave an assist on this project. We got through the heavy work and will continue on Sunday afternoon. More photos will be posted as the work is completed.

On February 28, 2009, we lost our beloved dwarf mini horse Doc, who had achieved the ripe old age of 14 years. While we are saddened by our loss, we celebrate the life he had here at the farm. He will be greatly missed by volunteers and visitors and by his best friend, Dickie, another dwarf mini. We will remember Doc's gentle nature and sweet disposition. He is with the angels now, but he will remain with us in our hearts.
