I still have the little chickens in the house and my nephew came over he said that the box that they are living in stinks – so I guess that it’s time to put them outside. I also have a bigger problem with them. When Little Kitty comes into the house, she runs over to the chickens and tries to push the screen window that I have on the box off. At first I thought it was just an accident and then I literally held the screen on and she came over and tried to stick her face under it to get to the chickens. Yup, time to go outside for sure! So I asked Daryl to go over to our other farm to pick up a cow tank. These tanks are used to store water for the cows and would work perfect! Over to the other farm he went and came back with the tank on top of the wood that I got from work last week in the back of the truck. He asked if I would help him unload the wood after I got the tank and I think it was a fair trade. So I drug the tank into the chicken house and guess what? I had one already in there. I think I should have scoped it out before I asked him. Down to the barn to get some loose straw and I found a chicken waterer in the brooder house for their new home. I put the chickens in it and it was looking pretty good. I tried to get a cute picture of them and they still would run to the opposite corner. But this picture gives a pretty good idea on how their new home looks. I put some chicken wire on top and then an old chicken wire door on top of that. Hopefully it’ll keep out Little Kitty and all the other farm cats!
The new home for our little chickens
We also had the electric company back to work on our poles. I think they’re done, but I’m not sure. Our electric was off again tonight, but only for about and hour so that wasn’t too bad. My Mom was over when I snapped the next picture and said that I sure took a lot of pictures of them putting up the poles. Come to think of it – she’s right.
Finishing up the work on the telephone poles
And now for our naughty puppy. He has gotten into so much trouble digging holes in our lawn that he’s gone to digging holes in our new gravel that we just put down. I have no idea why he would do this, but Daryl seems OK with him in the yard and not the lawn. Kind of weird place to dig, but I guess OK.
I have no idea what this dog is looking for!
