Chickens and more.

On our way home from Asheville, we stopped in Durham to have a short back-yard visit with our son, Kelly, and his wife, Erin, and  their son, Frank.

When we arrived, Erin and Frank were in the backyard putting the finishing touches on their new chicken coop.  A neighbor up the street was needing to relocate six young chickens and had offered them to Frank and Erin and Kelly.

Frank and the beautiful new chicken coop.

Erin had looked up chicken coop designs on the interned and, after getting all the materials, the coop has been built.  It is a beautiful thing to see.  There is excellent ventilation, good access for food and water, and an easy way to gather eggs.  The coop even has a skylight to provide daylight inside.

I think they are in the process of being named.

Later in the afternoon the chickens arrived and, as far as you can see, both Frank and the chickens are happy.  There are four yellow ones and two red ones. They chickens are about six months old and we wait to hear the egg laying reports!
