Coop move for winter


We did it, we moved the coop!!  After much grunting, growling, pushing, and shoving, the hen house is sitting squarely in the middle of the garage....and I swear, Faline looks happier than she's looked all day (she felt colder than the other hens who can move around more easily)....and the babies are moving around more instead of huddling together upstairs!!  

I'm sure having them indoors will be a different set of challenges, but I already feel happier knowing that I won't have to worry about them as much!!  Thank you all for your support in deciding to make a big change.

By the way, I'll be darned if that besom hawk didn't fly through the yard while we were working.  Little Red Hen started clucking like she does when she lays an egg and they all began running for cover--Ash and I ran toward it yelling and barking.  I'm sure we were very intimidating :)
