Chicken Yard

So here it is! We finally got the fence up (actually, two weeks ago) and they have adjusted just fine. The constant daylight and heat was a little much for them so I ended up trying to make some shade for them until Kevin made the coop. I'll post about that sooner or later. The chicken yard is right behind the garage and we hope it's plenty of room for the flock that we have.

Here are Emily and Kemiah in the yard with the chickens.



Now you can see the back of the garage. There is space between the fence and the garage so that we can snow blow or mow that area without any trouble.


Now you can see the sidewalk/path that comes from the back of the house to the fenced yard.

This is what the chickens do to you when you come in the yard. I'm not sure why but the gate was their favorite place to hang out when we first put up the yard. Maybe because they knew that's how we got out...

Yes, Kemiah is carrying a red chicken under her arm like it's a normal thing for kids to do. I guess for our kids it is becoming a normal thing. She had just tried to get another chicken under the other arm but it didn't work out so she just kept the one.
