And I thought we would have to wait months for a sunny weekend day to get the chicken run expansion built. But here we are, with a beautiful sunny January day and no other things on the agenda. It is hard to see in the photo, but there is mesh netting above the run to keep the chickens from getting out. Next free sunny weekend I would like to paint the chicken wire black to help it blend in a little better. Hopefully this will give the chickens a bigger area to hang out in so that Gertie doesn't pluck and then eat Maybelle. Now the dog can have the yard and the birds will stay in their coop and run. This also has the added bonus that there will be only one species of poop to clean out of the main yard area, and that Tashi will come inside with better breath.
Before we started the chicken project, Tashi and I went to the dog park for the very first time. We have a REALLY big off leash area 3 blocks from our house and it is awesome. Lots of super nice people and dogs, and Tashi is in heaven. Filthy, dirty heaven.
