Kenzie's Roost

After we finished building the coop, Kenzie and Tyler took the scrap wood to build the chickens this outdoor, portable roost. I never thought the chickens would actually use it, but what do I know? It tickles Kenzie, no end, to see her chickens using it. Here they are, keeping their feet out of the wet grass on this rainy day we had, today.

There's nothing to report re:the eggs. They're doing fine on this third day of incubation. I did learn that my friend, whose chickens we are watching, may not be able to keep any chickens at her house because of daycare restrictions. She does daycare at her house and she's taking classes to get some kind of special certification which is much stricter than regular daycare, regarding the keeping of poultry on the premises. Anyway, if she can't keep any, we may be able to keep some of her hens if she decides not to butcher them all.

Kenzie had her first travel fastpitch softball practice today. It took us 50 minutes to get there (commuter traffic), and 40 minutes to get home (no traffic), with 90 minutes of practice. What a pain, but she loves it, and she's my little girl. And when she decides to comletely give up her beloved soccer for something, it must be very important to her. She even decided that she'll buy her own, new cleats, since the softball thing will cost a lot more than her normal baseball in the Spring. This is going be weird for me because I've always been her coach in soccer and baseball, and now I won't be coaching her at all. Well, there's always the next kid in line... Keep'em comin' honey.
