Zana! No margaritas today!

One Dahlia, we let them free range when we are out in the garden, but I keep a pretty close eye on them - they can rip apart a flower bed awfully quickly. In the day they get out in their pen & play tag on the perches. They are very entertaining! My hubby is going to expand the pen that is attached to the coop this summer to include the tree line behind the coop (50x20' run). It will take a while because we need to put a roof through the trees. We have quite a few hawks that come to check on the chickens, so there needs to be a roof.

Yesterday when I was pulling out of the driveway to head to work a Saint Bernard (200+lbs dog) came flying around the corner of the house & raced straight to the chicken coop and then layed down to watch them. He belongs to a neighbour a couple of concessions away & occasionally escapes. I had to shoo him away & pray that he didn't come back for some chicken wings while I was at work!
