More progress on the Coop ...

Chicken wire going up, door built and soon to be installed, tin roof in place.  Almost finished!  The Chicken Taj Mahal!

Below is the silkies' temporary pen until the new coop is operational.

Seth's Cherry Tomato!

This little, healthy and thriving plant was once a sucker on the tomato vine!  Seth removed it from the mother plant, and planted it -- it is blooming and doing well !

Silky Coop Progress ...

Photos of the progress on construction of the new luxurious chicken coop.  They even ran a water line across the pond to the coop.  The way this thing is shaping up, Seth might move in there, too!

Note regarding the unique headgear:  gnats are unbearable and neverending; but apparently, they do not like "dangly" things, as Stephen calls it.  Hey, whatever works and keeps production moving.

All Creatures Great and Small

One of the many perks of country livin' is getting to see sights like this every day.  A Great Blue Heron frequents our pond often in search of a meal, and it's become convenient for him to scope out the day's takings from the comfort of the floating dock.

Seth and the Silkies

Seth is home, and he brought more!  Three Silky Chickens have also come to live at our home in Gresston.  Stephen and Seth have been busy working on a new chicken coop to replace the Silkies' current accommodations -- the old dog pen.  Rachel, Madison and Stephen seem to have taken to the new family members as well ...
