Chickens
The coop is finished. It looks fantastic, and contains all sorts of things a chook coop needs like nesting boxes, doors, walls, and even a roof. The pen goes up today (real easy, just string up some chook wire), and most of our flock will arrive tomorrow.

We're also adopting Brenda's (from my old workplace) chicken, a beautiful silkie hen. With any luck she'll be arriving tonight, so she has an extra chance to get used to her new surroundings. I'm very excited.

Shadow (our rabbit) helped a lot in making the coop, including the digging of the stump holes, and inspecting our materials and tools. We discovered that he hates small step-ladders (triple-stomp in badness), but he LOVES tall step-ladders (making a point of sitting under them to eat grass). Go figure.
