How many holes!

One every five feet!  Jumpin Jimminies!!  I get ahead of myself.  Wow so much has happened since we got the chickens.  Our sweet puppies discovered the chickens....hmmmm and almost a trip off the farm.  Well to be fair only claire and not maria was doing the killing, but maria was more than happy to munch away on the fresh kills.  All in all they only got 3 of the chickens and only roosters, whew.  Good thing we were home at the time and heard the excited barking the duo of death were emitting.  From dogs to people, we had a fantastic time when a whole bunch of family and friends got together for a day of turning chickens into food and BBQ over a nice fire.  It is a wonderfully rich life when one can be surrounded, at least on occasion, by good people.  Kari now has a freezer full of farm fresh chickens.  A couple of weeks from now we hope to duplicate the experience when our chickens are ready.  So we tore down the only leaning barn.  It went down slicker than snot.  It was leaning so much that all it took was the removal of a laaaarge dog house than was holding it partially up and pushing it past a fence post holding a corner of the barn up....and down she came.  Thanks so much to Manny and Brad whom helped immensely with the demolition...we will have a huge bonfire this holiday season....hopefully with all the wonderful people we had at our last gathering...
