Ken has added the egg door on the side, where we will be collecting the eggs. Also, a nice large window in the back. The window will be fully operational for cross ventilation on the hot summer days and able to seal it for rainy or winter weather.
We were able to find someone in South Carolina to obtain some Standard Ameraucana chicks (Blue/Green Egg Layers), so we drove out to Columbia to pick them up. Actually, Ken picked them up and Maria and the kids headed for the zoo with Aunt Melissa. We were told these are all girls, but we'll find out in a few more weeks for sure. Here they are:
These chicks turned out to be fairly expensive, as Ken received his first ever speeding ticket on his way back. The officer was nice enough to reduce the fine, but wasn't much consolation. Apparently, the speed limit sign was hard to see (per the officer's own comments). At least, Ken can't give anyone a hard time any more about traffic tickets. He's joined the club!
