After the chicks were locked inside the coop for a couple of weeks, it was time to finish the maintenance and repairs on the Run so they could use it. Oscar reinforced the door into the run. Naturally with 3 years of wet and… Continue Reading “RUN, BABY, RUN”
We are just spreading joy everywhere. (Yes, that was said in a sarcastic tone). You see, it’s not just the rooster who’s mad at us – the squirrels are mad too. We started building the hoop run in March but once we got the… Continue Reading “Spreading Joy Everywhere”
Road Runner has been banished from the coop. We have put him in the little coop that we used for the sick roosters last fall and winter (thoroughly sanitized of course). As you can imagine, he is not pleased! There are two excellent reasons… Continue Reading “The Rooster is Mad”

At the stroke of 8:00 a.m. this morning the phone rang. I may have squealed when I saw that the display read “US Postal Service.” The chicks had arrived at the post office! They are a day earlier than expected but that’s ok as… Continue Reading “The Phone Call”
