House Swap- Patriot's Dream Style

 With all of the moving and building going on around here lately, there weren't enough houses in all of the chicken pens to account for hens with cabin fever on a rainy day. Based upon the original forecasts, the rain wasn't due in until tomorrow. 


So when Wyatt woke up and wanted to move around during a lull in the rain, he helped me move a big house into the buck pen. Luckily, Obediah was glad to take this house and we moved his igloo house to the young chickens. Huey isn't ready to share, will have to go check there later!

Here is Obediah checking things out.  He is a sweet little buck, lots of fun to hang out with.  And- he comes running for a visit or treat when you call him!


He wasn't sure about us taking the other house, but much easier to move these into their pen, and a better fit for them than the chickens.


Wyatt made sure to put the door on just so, as it had fallen off and he felt that if the boys were compromising their houses for the chickens, it should be right.  So Obediah obliged him by looking over the door before going to the fence to see if the does had noticed his upgrade.


THe little chickens in the grow out space- Buckeyes and light and buff Brahmas, weren't too sure about us rearranging the furniture. THey gathered together right near where we were working and talked.  It seemed as though they were giving us stared and talking about our decorating capabilities, but maybe I was reading too much into it!


Once Huey decides to share his other house (they will still keep their favorite back-scratching push around house, of course!) the A-Pen will get one more.  Those hens are not so sure about sharing!
