Andree's New Roost

Andree's new coop was finally finished this week so it was time to bring her chicks over













My chicken wrangling scheme didn't go too well in rounding them up . After we captured the first couple, everyone decided it was time to hide under the ivy. Thus I could only catch half of Andree's chickens. i'll have to make a second trip to Andree's in a week or so.

Yesterdy, our friend Jim from Green Faerie Farms gave her a silkie and a wyandotte. I have a Spangled Russian Orloff, 2 Americanas, and an egyptian fayoumi for her. Plus she was gonna house three of the male Buffs for our friend Ira to eat



Upon introduction, The two older chicks from Jim asserted dominance over the new four. But those girls and boy are smart. They flew way up into the second tier of the coop to hide. once the pecking order is established they should enjoy their new beautiful home.















and being eco-conscious, Andree's new coop design even included solar panels installed on top. Oh! You all should check out her recently redone California Golden Trout art project in richmond


As for our yard, now it is being eaten up a tad slower with four less chickens. We still need to finish the new fence. I'll be sealing the wood over this weekend. We have a garden bbq/potluck workparty planned for sunday august 10th. If anybody is interested in helping out please contact me. We're gonna try to make it a monthly affair.
