How neat! I love killdeer!
Me too!
I thought mama was on eggs at first, she just stayed in one spot as I hauled, then yesterday I saw her with the 4 babies running around her!
I got a couple of pictures as I was moving them to the other corral, I will see if my computer and photo bucket are on good terms later.
Maybe they are new hatchlings and when you first started cleaning she may have been sitting.

That could be!
Yesterday she was only about 15 feet from where I was driving and didn't budge until the dogs got closer. She only had 1 baby under her, the other 3 were on the other side of the manure pile.
IF I had a better camera(and my windows were clean), I could get a picture of them right now! They are on top of a little mound in the corral, enjoying the sunshine!

I decided to go out and get to work on my chick coop. DH is big on using screws and the cordless drill when building. I ended up telling the drill and screws where they could go and got the hammer and nails out. Then my only problem was the uneven ground.--shed is in use. I have the frames for the top and bottom built-got side tracked by a phone call. Measured what the up and down boards will need to be and after lunch I will cut them and DH will help me with those. Toe tacking is not my thing and I don't have enough hands either. Then I can put the plywood on and paint!

First hatch is due this weekend but, I will keep them in the grain room in the back barn for a bit. The run itself, I'm thinking needs some work-I haven't looked to close but, I'm sure it will.

Pen no.4 is ready for chips!
I ended up bringing in 2 loads of gravely fill, to fill in what the boy and I dug out! If I had known I was going to do that, I would have had the boy over there to help!
Spreading gravel is for young people!

On to pen no. 5!
