Poultry in the barn

Happy Saturday!

I thought I would give a little update on our chickens and ducks... because I just love them.  :)

Last weekend we moved our 41 chicks and our 10 ducklings out to a modified horse stall in the barn. With all hands on deck it took about three trips of four boxes to get everyone safely moved into their temporary barn home.

Krista loves helping drive the tractor full of feed and shavings.

The move went very smoothly and everyone was happily exploring their new surroundings in no time.  I also have to add that you would be quite proud of me.  Their first evening outside of the house had our area seeing torrential downpours and  amazing lightning shows!  I only had Derek make one trip with me to check in on our flock at the barn.  :)

Derek's ducklings are getting bigger everyday!

Later in the week, with my craft room once again a craft room (and only mildly smelling like pine shavings) I sat down to sew.  I made a quick box bottom shopping bag from one of the empty plastic  feed sacks.  (For instructions see this PIN on my Pinterest board).

Cute little chicken tag on the handle

I am already scheming a cute messenger bag when we have HORSE feed sacks on hand.

Have a lovely weekend!
