Chickens are easy to care for and leaving them for a few days with a system like yours is awesome.

It certainly takes the worry away! The only thing they are missing is their morning mash, they sure are excited when I get back & give it to them, they totally mobbed me when I got home from Mt Rainier. The rabbits are completely taken care of too. Still, I'm glad that my oldest son is there to check on them!

My grandson is demanding my attention! I'm enjoying this day so very much!

It's been so crazy busy lately! I need to get caught up on everyone's journals...hopefully I can do that this weekend! I want to share a couple of pictures of my French Black Copper Marans roosters. They are so beautiful...I hope they stay nice, because I don't want to have to chose between my roosters...time will tell!

The two Gentlemen _ Marquis & Maximus!

Marquis - His coloring is more pronounced, but his tail feathers aren't as long as Maximus...hopefully they will grow nice and long!!!

A friend of mine had the most beautiful BCM rooster Ive ever seen, and such a nice boy. He was like a rooster unicorn lol, so rare.

Well, we finished the gate and set the automatic door in place!

Building the gate!

Automatic door! My husband built this many years ago, it used to sit where the new pipe feeders are now!

Covered and steps in place! The steps are nothing fancy, but they work!

After all of the work we've done, we finally get to see our flock enjoy their new space!!!

23 very happy Chickens!!!

Bravely exploring!
