Luckily, the electricians had arrived in advance of the storm to install an additional outlet in the barn for the girls' night light and water heater. I considered doing this electrical work myself...for about a nanosecond. I concluded that any D-I-Y project that could involve shock, electrocution, fire, and/or death should best be left to the professionals. And now the girls must lay another 162 dozen eggs to

than Clara and Peach and went right to work exploring every corner of the palace.
Minnie: Why, look, Eugenia! There are skylights. And roosts.
And a hanging fountain and feeder. What will she think of next?
Minnie: Thank you, mom. I think I'm gonna like it here.
Me: You're welcome. I'll be back in the morning to let you out in the yard. Sleep tight, and don't let Wynonna bite.
Nice perches - didya carve them yourself?

ReplyDeleteWell done, Mom!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to hear what Wynonna thinks of her new roomies.
ReplyDeleteI love that first photo; the lighting and colours are stunning - I can feel the warmth!
If the girls are happy, mom is happy.
ReplyDeleteNice job on the Palace. Hope Wynonna takes to her new neighbors well.
if the cold front with the snow we got is any indication of what is to come, the girls will be snug in the Palace.
Looks cozy-yet roomy enough for the girls. I think they're gonna love their new home. :) Great job!
ReplyDeleteLooks like all the girls were in for a cozy night in their new digs. Great job on the palace.
ReplyDeletewow, even skylights! Very nice project you've completed and I know the girls are grateful (at least for a nanosecond in those bird brains).
ReplyDeleteHaaaa! "and now the girls must lay another 162 dozen eggs to recoup the investment...". Boy, do I know this kind of math!
ReplyDeleteThey look so happy in their new palace! It's just perfect - and the night light will make it so much easier for them to read before bed! :-)
Kudos - the palace is quite the architectural feat! Those girls look like happy girls. :)
ReplyDeleteVery nice pen...why, I think anyone should be nice in there!
ReplyDeletexo, Cheryl
p.s. sad to tell you we lost our first hen last night. we have no idea why other than the fact that the roosters were wearing her out. (2 roosters)
Next Wynonna will want a heat lamp for the winter as well, the princess that she is. A nice little warm spa for the pig. Just another project to keep you busy Carson, ha!
ReplyDeleteBest always, Sandra
Did you whittle those roosts?? They are cool!
ReplyDeleteThat's one lovely chicken abode! Lucky things.
ReplyDeleteWhat dramatic lighting! Looks Fabulous.
ReplyDeleteNow that is just TOO CUTE! The girls look very happy in their new winter coop! (And your pun was cute, too!)
