A New Place for the Bantams


Dear friends,

Looks like there will be a new lot for the Bantams!!!  I've had a bee in my bonnet about this long enough!  I think I've found the perfect spot.   
 Here, behind the chicken house.  Turn right at the at the far end of the house and it looks like this:
This is looking out of the (soon to be) Bantam lot into the chicken lot.  I've started on the door frame.  The new lot will be L-shaped, behind the chicken house, and I will be able to walk inside!  I'm so excited!!!

I have been saving string from chicken feed bags ever since we bought our first bag of feed.  Yesterday I opened a bag of laying mash and added another string to my collection.  I've GOT to show you this....


I kinda like my ball of string.  Like mama said one time, "you never know when you might need a piece of string"

Love,  Henny Penny

  1. I love your ball of string, Henny Penny. It's huge! That's right, you never know when you'll need some. Have fun building your new chicken lot. I enjoy reading your posts.

  2. Sheila, thank you so much! Mama was in her late 80's when she said that about needing a piece of string. Can you imagine anybody needing to save little pieces of string in this day and time!!:) But I do!! I loved your comment. Hope to have some pictures of the new lot soon!
    Love,

  3. Your ball of string represents a goal accomplished and is a visual reminder of that goal attained. That is an important ball of string! Whilest (love that word!) I don't advocate saving every little thing, I do think the principles of reduse and reuse are in everyone's best interest. That's something to cluck about. ;)

    Love,

  4. The way my mom quilted she had to sew the two sides of the backing to the frame...and she always used string for this. We always saved string from anything like that. Cause there was always a use for string.
