Chickens Soon to Arive

I have been working for the past week on the chicken coupe and as slow as its going I hope I will get it done before I am ninety.

It should be done today though and this Sunday morning is a Swap Meat that I hope to pick up about 25 chickens 24 laying hens and 1 rooster. Lord willing they will be there and at a price I can afford.

Here are a few pictures to show the transformation. What the pictures don't show is the inside...it is finished inside. I just have to do a little more masonry work on the outside and get the fence attached to the building...and I am done!





The smaller holes make it easier to keep the chickens from getting out while getting the eggs...that was my thinking anyway. The vent at the top is to let in air because I am worried it will be hot in the summer time so I have lots of vents. I can close them up in the winter time.




Brandy's Hyacinths are blooming full out.


Well there's the update. Hope your hooked for another post. Take care.

Very nice stone work. I might have to fly you out here to build a stone wall around my property:)

My goodness, Jeremy, no wonder you don't get to town, much to do your blog posting! You are one busy fella! I LOVE those cute little bunnies!

Jeremy,
I just read your blog about this land.... Very well done. I wish my stepson thought a little more along
those lines than the socialist leanings that he has.
Have you looked into the Constitution Party? I joined them this year after years of being a Liberatarian. They (the Liberatarians) want to privatize everything. And I don't think things like roads (freedom of movement) and libraries (freedom of learning) should be private because they can then be restricted by cost of entrance.
But these are just my beliefs.
Anyway, keep up the good work!

Hi Jeremy. Thank you for linking my website to your blog. It's pretty cool! But I've got a new website, and the old one is dead. If you can, please update to: kirksullensmetalart.com

thanks,

Kirk

I'm impressed with your building ideas. I got a quote for a 3' stone wall around my property (2/5 acre) and they wanted $25,000. INSANE!!! I look forward to seeing how your building turns out. As for your ministry, because you have included the Lord in your works on this forum, I think that qualifies as a form of ministry. I wasn't thinking about our creator before I started reading your post. I was actually thinking about work and what I could do to better serve an upset customer. After reading your post it reminded me of what my real duty in life is, and that is to serve our Lord. I have a 2.5 hour drive ahead of me and now I will be praying and praising the whole way instead of thinking of work. Just by believing and confiding in the Lord we sometimes minister in ways we are unaware. I find you to be quite the inspiration. Thanks for this blog:)
