Making Room

 

 

 

Remember these?

 

 

Well that's what getting ready for chickens has been like here at Turkey Creek Garden. One project precludes another, and it seems like we'll never be ready.

 

First the corner of the garden had to be cleaned out. 

 

 

 

Then the fence to this area had to be taken down and the sitting area had to be moved. 

 

Thank goodness for family!! We got together for Mama's birthday on Valentine's weekend and instead of a "barn raising", we had a "patio laying".

 

 

 

Now we'll have a spot to sit and watch chickens.  Everything I've read about chickens says the chicks quickly become family pets with their own personalities providing hours of their funny antics.  I am looking forward to spending time on the new patio just watching the chickens peck all the insects off  my vegetables.

 

Of course we still need a coop, but that's in the works!!!

 

Love ya'll,
