Anatomy of a First Aid Kit

So a few weeks back I began thinking about how we would respond in an emergency, and were we ready?  We have had some nasty emergencies in the past, and well I began thinking better ready than sorry. So I looked up the anatomy of a first aid kit on the American Red Cross website, then took myself off to the hardware store for some sturdy tool/first aid boxes. Home I came with these stellar metal tool boxes, and then took my Red Cross list to Target for all of my supplies.  Here is the outcome!  I am feeling safer already, one for my car, one for the house and one for the barn!!

A Deal of a Hay Fork

So here is my first hay fork.  I found it at my favorite salvage yard for five dollars!  YEEHAW!!

The Girls Have Arrived



So nestled in our warm garage are 28 chicks.  We have 2 white Frizzles, 2 Black Frizzles, 4 Polish Crested Chicks, 2 Buff Orpingtons, and 18 Americanas.  Wow,  what a chirping group they all make!! And here they are making their internet debut.......drum roll please......

Chicken Fencing

So now the fencing goes in as my guys think about the front of the coop.

Getting Ready for the Girls

Work continues on the coop for our new "girls".  The back of the coop is very cute!!  I wish it was the front, so now my amazing coop builders are hatching plans to make the front just as cute as the back!!
