More pictures from yesterday...

I hung outside for awhile yesterday mornin/afternoon just enjoyin the beautiful day. The warm sun shine was such a nice break to my soul... I just sat out there watching the chicken scratch the ground, porkchop munch on grass (and when she would wonder alittle to far, I'd just yell & shed come runnin for her lil treat, 1 lil piece of dry cat food, lol), I filled 2 containers with water for the ducks to play in, we moved the bantam tractor over so they could have a fresh patch of grass to peck at, collected 5 eggs yesterday. We're back to nasty gloomy rainy weather today, so I'm really glad I spend yesterday outside! Dont forget to stop by my other blog All Because 2 People Fell In Love, see whats goin on.

And The News Is...

Porkchop Got Moved Outside...
Well I knew the time would come when we would have to move Porkchop out of the house and into the yard but it didnt make it any easier... I felt happy, sad, relived when we took the big step last Saturday. Now this is just her temporary pen til we can make her real pen this spring. We used a tractor pen we built for me to use with the chickens, when needed. This tractor has come in pretty handy... its been home to many chicks, hens, roosters and now a potbelly piglet.


My wonderful husband addin board to the sides to block the wind.


We covered the top with a trap and we can pull it down over the sides to block out the wind, rain & snow when needed.

She didnt know what to think of her new home at first...


Jinx had to come in and check out Porkchops pen

Some of the chickens had to come check out what we were doing, I think they thought a new animal was here. When they realized it was just Porkchop they went on their way peckin at the the straw that had fell as I was puttin it in Porkchops pen.

Then she realized she has a nice cozy lil home

...Time to snuggle under all that warm straw...

*Its so different in the house with her outside, kinda weird after havin her in here for almost 4 months. I miss it but I know its for the better and Porkchops doing great. I was worried about how shes would do. I go out to visit her alittle durin the day. I'll call her name and she come out gruntin from under the straw, I let her out of the pen and she'll follow me around the yard, so cute. I cant wait for warmer weather to sit outside with all my barnyard animals.
