Chicken coop progress

Say hello to the hen formerly known as "Odd", and who shall hereafter be known as "Peaches." Duncan gave up on naming her "Kalimdor" because, as he said, "It's kind of official now because Nama already started calling her Peaches."

Today we moved the chicken coop and pen so that they are put together as originally intended. We ran out of time to finish the most important part, however: the door into the pen. So until I can get that done, we're going to have to pull the pen back away from the coop in order to get inside and get to the chickens' food and water - a task requiring at least two people every time. Ah well! That should provide some incentive to get the door done! I doubt we're going to have any time during the week, but maybe by Thursday, Friday, and Saturday we can eek out a few hours here and there and get this project finished. Then we'll be set until springtime, when we have to move it all aside again so we can build a new, bigger, and definitely nicer coop and pen. I'm saving my pennies already. It's going to cost a lot of them.

Ah, forgive me for laughing my guts out about eek for eke. I'm just envisioning you guys eeking some time! XD

If you ever run out of projects (as if!) now you can come down and, in addition to mowing my huge lawn, you can help us build bathrooms! Won't that be fun? Or maybe we should come help you build a door into the chicken run.

Haha! That is the funniest! I didn't even notice I spelled that "eek". Gotta leave it, though. That's how I feel about everything, most days. EEK!
