Building Chicken Pens

In the meantime of doing everything that I have been posting about lately, the most important is working on the chicken pens. We started them in March and just now finished them last week. Yes, it really has taken 2 months. They involved more detail then Dad realized, and with the chickens getting bigger and bigger we had to get them done ASAP. Chicks can only stay in a brooder for so long. The Storries were interested in raising their chickens on pasture this year like we do so they came over to help build the pens and for their time, we gave them a pen to use for themselves. Now that we have 5 pens out on the field, it looks awesome with all those chickens in them now!!!

She could totally be a model!  Chick season has come around the corner...again! This will always be a favorite!  They make for good pets...when they're little anyway!  When you don't have a tractor and you need to seed the fields...  ...and chop broom grass down When Mom's not putting the food in your mouth fast enough  Meet the new bull calf, Demitri! ...

"An amazing hike for the books - Ha Ha Tonka State Park was beautiful!  I'm blown away by the beauty tucked away in this awesome state!" -Ashley "The only thing that tops having a wonderful hike is having wonderful people to hike with!" -Ashley We have a NEW attraction in the back yard!!  It's been a year since our last trampoline bit the dust,  and we finally bought a new one (well, new to us)!!!  I'm not sure what's more fun, the trampoline, or the pictures you...
