Wylie is practicing his herding skills on the little Bantams, but I really wonder who is herding who?!? The construction material is the coop de ville, hopefully the weather will cooperate this week and they can get the coop built!
The coop de ville material arrived during our late spring snow storm
Construction was to begin tomorrow, but it has been postponed for a few days.
This is what we woke up to in Kansas this morning.
If you look really close you will see a Robin, looking for Spring!
Although he doesn’t enjoy his bath…..
I think the end result is worth it, he probably doesn’t think so.
This is the inspiration for our new coop de ville. This coop is located in Missouri, on a beautiful old abandoned farmstead.
This is the location for our coop. The building material will be delivered Tuesday and the crew is planning to start Wednesday. Hope the weather cooperates!

These are our meat birds. I can’t believe how fast they grow. Husband is busy gettingtheWhizBangchickenplucker finished up. I hope they get the coop built soon so they can enjoy a few days/weeks in their new home, before they take a ride intheWhizBang.
This is one of the 6 Bantams. They are 2 weeks old now. Such a big attitude for a little bird. We also have 7 Buffs that are the same age.
I found these mushrooms in the mulch. I don’t know what they are. Can anyone identify them?. I wished they were morels.
Although it was a beautiful sight this morning, it is probably not going to be very pretty without all the trees and early flowers that were just starting to bloom. Hopefully the ice provided much needed insulation and protected some of the plants. I’m hoping my newly planted peas, beets, kale and rhubarb will be okay.
Wylie doesn’t care for storms, so when a storm is approaching, I put on his “Anxiety Shirt”. The compression shirt does have a calming effect on him, but he still wants to go to the basement to sleep. He will keep us safe during severe weather!
