Eggs In a Box

Yup. Those are eggs in nesting boxes! So far, in the new coop, they have only nested in the nesting boxes. I don't expect that to change. Now it is habit and where they want to be.

I'm so excited I no longer have to lean waaaaay in to get a couple eggs.

They have also been laying more eggs since moving to the new coop. We used to get 2-3 a day, once in awhile, 4. We have been getting 4 or 5 every day since they moved to their new home. I'm so excited! Now I just have to remember to take the eggs with me when someone wants a dozen. :)

Drumroll please!!


The new chicken coop is..........FINISHED!!


The first one (if you remember) was too small. So we have been working on a new one. But between the rain, heat, funerals, and competitions, it has taken us over a month. So without further ado, here is the new coop.





So very excited to have this done. I think the chickens are too. They had been living the in the empty pig pen up the hill. Then even have a play yard that is about twice the size of their old ones and nesting boxes they actually fit in. Here's hoping they actually use them this time.

Chickens and Flowers

Well, life has been busy for us the past month or so. You can read about some of it over at Logger's Wife.

We have done some work on the yard. We have adopted chickens, which has involved building a chicken coop. Which turned out to be too small. So now we are having to build another one.

Here is the current one. Matt is still working on the new one.




While Matt and my dad worked on the chickens, Mom and I worked on building a flower bed by the house. Here is what it looked like when we moved in.



Here is what it looked like when we fixed around the house.



And here is what it looks like now. Most my flowers aren't up more than little seedlings yet so I'll be sure to post a pic when they are full-grown.



We are doing a little still on the 2nd bedroom but it is at a snail's pace.
