Concrete apron !



Over the Memorial day weekend i formed and poured an apron off the back doors. We had a piece of plywood there for a ramp since we started this project , so i thought it was time for a real ramp. I will pull off the forms this week sometime.

Chick , Chick , Chickens !





Ok, so the chickens came in last friday and their getting comfortable. We got 6 white , 6 brown and the rooster. He crows every morning and nite , its kinda cool. The best part is that if we have the windows closed our house is insulated so well you don't hear him. They hav'nt layed any eggs yet but they said a week or two, so maybe next week. They are well trained , they go out in the morning and come in at nite , without a problem. I took some pics this week of the ranch i work on and my next post i will share them with you.

Bring on the chickens !







Katie & i worked on finishing the run today , we got it done. The chickens are coming in on Friday so we wanted to be ready. I also got a steel drum to put the feed in with a lid so we could leave the feed outside.Since i built the egg box thru the back wall we can get them from the outside.
