Hanging in the coop

Our place came with a coop ready to go! A little more fencing around the bottom and some fresh shavings and we're ready for some chicks!

Don't you just love this little barn?
Meet Rodney. Our real estate agent, Holly, stopped by with a housewarming gift before she left for her vacation to Alaska. Rodney is the biggest dork. He cracks me up daily. He has a nob on the front of his head that doesn't allow for the best vision looking straight. When he's in pursuit of some lady to show who's boss he kind of runs sideways a little and struts. His little wings are too small to fly well. He's our little goober that takes his job very seriously. He's kind of pretty too. I bet he doesn't like it when I call him a pretty boy...
Here's momma and her crew. She is a little Bantee hen and has 5 babies in tow. Now you know who Rodney is so busy keeping track of.
