New Chickens Are Now All in Old Coop

It took quite a bit of work but the three month old chickens are now in their permanent home.

 The old bottom fencing that went into the ground, much had broken off in the last 15 years. We spent the last two days digging, installing and the cover the new before putting the new birds in. And yes I do help, I am the hander of tools, tie wires and the go-fer.

Way to hard to go deeper into the ground, rock and more rock with a hard layer of clay further down.

Starting to wire it to the bottom fencing.

Covering the wire.

Meet Fred, the rooster who supposed to be a hen lol.

The visitor in the back yard while we were in on a late lunchbreak. Both dogs were sleep lol.

Cooler weather here and work.

We had some hot days last week but the last few days have been more like  end of Aug, beginning of Sept. It was 48 degrees this morning at 6:30. with 71 deg. F today. The highest we will get next week is a couple of days of 82 F. then back to mid to high 70's.

The outside of the new front porch is pretty much done. The inside is still left to do.

It was time to pull out the old posts around the garden that were 2ed hand in 2005 when we put them in. Some where rotting off at the ground. The new posts are being concreted in. Waiting for the concrete to cure.

We had a nice fire in our new pit :). We have added more rock since this and sand around the outside.
