Crafting a Chicken Hutch

The clanking of hammers and buzzing of saws filled our brightly colored, pre-autumn morning. Fixing fences and constructing a small hen house out of used, salvaged scraps of wood was the goal of these two young men today.

So we thought we best start them out with a hearty breakfast; Whole Wheat Apple pancakes with my home made Black Berry Syrup, fresh farm scrambled eggs and bacon was eagerly gobbled up...

Tool boxes were rummaged through...


They started with an old rabbit hutch and added side boards to it...




A mixture of curiosity and entertainment flickered about the hen house...

A little trouble with the electric saw left big slash in the cord.
Task incomplete but had to be postponed to next Saturday.


So Shane took advantage of the extra time to give attention to the goats...
