Ok, I already told you a number of times, but I love Saturdays!! Today, I was so excited to get up and to see how the chickens did that I woke up at 5:30 AM and couldn't get back to sleep! I checked on them. They were eating and drinking and doing all the things chickens do. The funnest part for me though was that they had ROOM. They were not on top of each other and they had a little room to move around and check things out.
I cleaned the kitchen, got a load of laundry going and picked up a bit while listening to Dave Ramsy recordings. I listened to the Great Misunderstanding this morning. It is inspirational. It is about why giving is important. And it got me revved up.
A few hours later I woke Tim up and he went out and mowed the little patch of lawn where we want to have our girls for their first stop. We moved them over and opened their house. It was fun to watch them peek their heads out. They are only about two months old, and yesterday they hadn't been able to figure out how to use their ramp up into their home. Today, their curiosity got the best of them and they all pushed each other down the ramp. Now just to figure out how to get back up!
It was fun to see them run! They have been so cramped that they haven't been able to run. Now they are running here and there. I threw some feed around so that they they had something to search for and then I threw in some tiny pieces of carrot as well. They are loving their freedom.
The dogs are a little too interested. My nephew said something about an electric net. I am going to get more info on that. For now, I feel like Tim's chicken tractor is safe and secure.
By the way, I am SO proud of my husband. He designed this chicken tractor, he decided the pieces that he would need and he put the whole thing together. It is beautiful!! And I think he feels good about his work too. I am sure that he has ideas for upgrades already. :-) That is just who he is.
Love to you and yours on this Saturday morning.
