The Ladies - Round Two

When we moved last June we were so excited to get chickens.  We had them within a week of moving to our little acreage and their coop and run were degenerating to say the least.  We lost 3 of 6 of those chickens before we ever got any eggs from them.  The remaining 3 became dinner... the last of which we had just last week.  Mmmm. There are 2 yogurt containers of stock in my freezer just waiting to be turned into pasta sauce or corn chowder one of these days.

This past month, one of our goals has been to fortify the chicken coop and rebuild their run and fencing.  Dave dug in a few solid posts and put on a new farm gate to the run.
