We spent most of the day together, working on the never ending list of improvements to the coop. I patched and hung the gutters, filled the coop floor with sand, put silicone sealant on the holes in the roof from its previous life and put up plastic sheeting as a wind block. The coop is no longer cute, but it is functional. Mabel (the brown one) seems to have a strong aversion to sand. She would not go into the coop after I placed the sand. I had to push her through the door, and she does anything to avoid walking on it. What a funny bird. She seems to be adjusting now, and the others like it. I wanted to put something down over the muddy ground, so they would have a dry place to be. They can dust bathe in it as well. Most people put down straw or wood shavings, but my chickens like to eat those things, and I am not going through a Camilla surgery again if I can help it.

A tea party! I would do anything to see a picture of one of those chickens with a proper little hat. Hmm, I might have to make them one.
LOL at ambers comment! can you imagine a chicken in a hat?! hilarious!
glad the chickens are getting winterized and settled! hope you are getting settled too!
I think we could totally get a hat on Buffy - she is very tolerant!
