Blurry pic of the new gate installed yesterday. Will add chicken wire to gate and run this weekend.
This is the door within a door for the hens to enter/exit the coop. Tomorrow we'll probably build their little gangplank leading up to it. It has a Patrick (of Sponge Bob) knob on it.
Higher up on the big door we now have a vent of sorts. This is the material G used when he built a radiator box earlier this year for the upstairs radiator.
G doing the hard work of digging post holes. It really livens up when you hit the clay!
Small boy trapped in post hole.
Mama and boy hard at work watching the guy with the post hole digger.
Thanks to the complete Who the Heck Knows nature of The Big 3 (or Big 2, or Big 1 1/2), G has been off all week! It has started sooner than we anticipated, but fortunately, the call was made to Unenjoyment today to start the process. In the meantime, G has been crazy busy tweaking the coop process. If all goes well tomorrow, we may be able to bring some lady hens home by Sunday. Essentially all that is left is the run enclosure. We have the wire for that and I will definitely be home all weekend now that the last May mama had her baby Wednesday afternoon. I have a small break of being off-call--- which feels wonderful!
More pics to come!

Enjoy your free time off call.
Can't wait to see the new ladies. We are also planning to get some now, and I am so excited, though not until the Fall. I will watch your adventures with interest this Summer.
Great to see a pic of you for a change too! :)
Thanks, Mo. I read about your chicken update on a quick email/blog check blitz the other morning before having to get out the door. I literally squealed out loud in excitement for you! How cool of your neighbor!
And how fun for you and your family!
