Flooded Yard / Move In Day For The Chickens

The rain came down all day Saturday & the yard started to flood as I watched from the window's & took these picture's from the window's. It was the first day of fishing season here but the water ways were flooded. Road's were closed due to the flooding in area's. Sam missed out on fishing this past weekend. I did not miss cleaning trout. Lucas started his first day of on the job training Saturday & Laken made her way to Gettysburg. Taking longer due to some flooded road's.




The chicken's enjoyed the day in the chicken run. They are getting to big for the chicken brooder. Good thing it was a nice clear day today. I finished staining the chicken coop. I added a rabbit feeder to the large door. I added some glass board that was left over from a shower wall. This will make it much easier to keep the floor clean. The large door is the perfect size & heigth for backing my little garden dump wagon right up to it when I will need to change the shaving's. The chicken poo & shaving's will go right into my garden's for fertilizer.

I added a nice thick layer of pine shavings to the floor & the nesting boxes & hung the old chicken warter I got at a public sale week's ago. Now the coop is ready for our chicken's. Off I went to gather them one by one to introduce them to their new home.

Our five hen's & one rooster are happily scratching about their new home tonight. After I took this picture I secured the doors to the chicken coop & I assume the Chickie's are sleeping by now as I type. Now to count the day's til our girl's start laying those wonderful egg's. My egg gathering basket is ready. It is calling for rain tomorrow but I am hoping it will hold off until I get the onion's in the garden. The boy's will be home early & Lucas will need to get to work soon after they get home. So my taxi service will be running at full force. For now my bed is calling me. A little reading before I shut my eye's. I am reading 40 Days with Jesus Celebrating His Presence. 40 short message's for each day to read & ponder as my heart grow's closer to my Savior as I spend time in His word.

Blessing's Til Next Time!
