The first completed wall...

The frame work on the run is complete. We just need some wire, older chickens and a roof and it will be finished.

Chicken -n- Dumplings

My sister was coming home so we decided to have a nice family dinner. Keith and I made chicken -n- dumplings. They were so good and I burnt my tounge really bad because I could not stop sipping the flavorful juices. Anyway here are some pictures of the process and also a picture of some flowers that my Grandma received as a gift for her birthday last year. She got them potted and then decided to plant them by her front door and ta da they bloomed and are very pretty.

Sick Little Hellen

Here is Hellen in the chick hospital. She is sleeping on top of her food bowl.
Dr. Alford checking Hellen out to make sure nothing else is wrong. At this point she has a hurt leg and her left eye will not open.
