WHERE THE FARMHOUSE AND THE DOGHOUSE ARE ONE AND THE SAME

Work in Progress: Hen House

One Dozen Black Australorp hens will arrive next month.  Ben and I (mostly Ben) have been working away at their new home since January.

Two very generous men put on the roof for us along with this set of stairs.  That was a huge help.  They will be paid with free eggs for life!


We orded day-old chicks, so they will spend the first six weeks indoors under a heat lamp.  That gives us until the end of April to finish the construction and painting.  Completely manageable.

    Jane and I are thinking about getting chickens with our neighborhoods Rusty and Nelle.
