Chicken need shelter too

Temporary housing

We were blessed with 6 chickens & 2 roosters. We were expecting them on Saturday but due to weather reports, we got them on Friday. A friend drove an hour & a half to our house to bring them to us. Kathy also brought us a couch with a hide-a-bed & 4 or so eggs. YUM!!!

My children woke up this morning & were so excited that they would get to do "farm chores" today ... they happily went out to feed & water the chickens. They were thrilled to find 4 eggs ... part of tomorrow's breakfast!

We are on our property ... way up a mountain & way out in the sticks. We couldn't be happier!!! We are really "roughin" it. We have no electric but will do our solar power system soon. We have a solar shower & a compost toilet. Pretty soon we'll have the water tanks, to truck in our own water. I can't wait for that!!!

One thing I am finding hard to do since our move ... is getting back to our routine. I mean ... I know our routine is changing but I just can't find our schedule in our day & it can tend to drive me crazy with out it LOL

Most days we're in bed by dark & up by the crack of dawn. Those are my favorite days!!!

I'm posting pictures little by little ... I'll post more as soon as we find the battery charger LOL
