I ran away from teaching to the country to grow veggies. There are also some chooks and a pair of troublesome goats who were so much trouble they had to go! My simple green life isn't always as simple or as green as I'd like...but I keep trying!

New accommodation


When the chicken's have most of their feathers and are too big for their box but they still need artificial heat for another week, what do you do?


They really look like miniature chooks now.


Well if you are the Cook, you rehouse them in the shower recess.  

She says it will be easy to clean out after they move out.

She even gave them sticks to practice perching.

It is the best example of repurposing she has come up with yet.



Note to self: As soon as the rain stops make arrangements for them outside.  Sooner or later you will need a shower.


Worth doing

When raising chickens use kitty litter on the floor of their house.  
It soaks up heaps and allows several days between cleaning.

  3. That Cook is so smart - what a wonderful solution. It must make the cats and dog furious!
    I too like the top photos of the changing landscape in your neighbourhood.

  8. I never cease to be amazed at the lengths you will go to for those little chicks! Such ingenuity (and self-sacrifice).
    I'm also feeling sympathy for the wet-footed horses in your header picture today.
