Born Free

Mark  built a “free range” area for the birds to roam within a confined area outside of their pen.  This morning he decided to let them run completely free.

I was greeted by these curious faces on my back patio.

“Got corn?”

Mark is a bit stressed out–over protective if you will–and twice has said, “Well I should lock them up now.”  I’ve talked him down a few times and they are still roaming free.   He is acting like the father of teenage daughters right now :)

Life with Mark.

Life with chickens.

PS.  My oven broke down!  Yes, I’m sad.  Times are tough right now, so I bought a little Cuisinart convection counter oven at Costco–I look forward to posting some of the cool things that have come out of it!  Plus, I save on my power bill.

Hey Sean!  Guess what?
