I’m a bad blogger – I really am.
I was so good in the beginning – what with all of the posts and daily interaction – then life happened.
Stuff happened – the spring turn into summer – turned into fall and here we are – winter again.
BLINK – where did it all go?
Our chicken “mall” almost complete. What is the mall you ask?
Well it is our storage area converted to a one stop shop where our bockers will live for the winter.
A series of “store fronts” each designed to give our flock a place to sleep and a place to hang out should they feel inclined to do so. We will also house our duck ducks in there.
While this is designed for their comfort – it is a bit selfish as it allows me to make “one stop” in the morning to feed/water and check in on their morning/night time routine.
Like all malls – it has a recreation area – a food court and countless activities that will keep the flock amused during those long and boring winter evenings.
For instance – the hanging pumpkins will be a source of endless amusement while the music area (xylophones affixed to the walls) will allow the bockers to stay entertained.
Once construction is completed- I will post pictures and will accept and all comments on any suitable activities that you all feel will best keep my flightless children entertained.
My friends – we are in for the long haul this winter I fear.
Farmers Almanac says a cold, blustery and long winter.
Let’s all just take a deep breath and stay entertained.
I’ll try to be more diligent in my posts and be as amusing a possible.
Love to all!
I pray that the almanac is not right. I still have ducklings that are not ready and chicks that are really not ready. At the end of the day it is what it is and I may need to set up heat lamps in the coops. Kathleen Wynn are you plannomg this. You will pump up my hydro now to near rediculaous amounts. UGGGHHHHHH.
