I'm ready for my close-up...

Well, in an attempt to get a final picture of the chickens inside, I had some trouble with the lighting, and then... well, as you can see, Squeak saw that pictures were being taken, so, of course, he had to be in them.

This afternoon, I heard the weirdest noise coming from the chickens. I'd never heard it before, so I went to investigate. It was Cricket, practicing his cock-a-doodling! It was very cute. I wish I knew more about computers, so I could have recorded it for you.

The chicken coop is almost ready for occupancy--we just need some more litter! So tomorrow morning, they'll go to their new homes! YEA!

The red things hanging down are some bungee cords. I used them to raise up the feeders. We had the cheap red plastic ones, so we used two rubber bands to keep it closed, and then hung them with the bungee cords. It's funny, since the chickens seemed to really like the trapeze. The waterers, for here, we have the ones you add a mason jar to. When they got a little older, we put sand in old Oxy-Clean containers and put the waterers on them. They've only tipped it over a few times, and usually because someone didn't make sure the container was cleaned off before the waterer was put back. (oops)
