The Chicken Palace...Down to the wire!!!!








Finishing the Chicken Palace has evolved into a race for time as Saturday approaches. Amber, Honey, and Molly are as happy as clams in their temporary pen, but since we leave on Saturday for Colorado to take John Alexander back to college, the permanent house and pen MUST BE finished. Thus, from its early beginnings in plan on pieces of paper, to evolving across weeks and now months, we worked last night in the dark with flashlights and backyard lights until almost 9pm. The date is August 8, 2007 and three more days remain before we leave. Will the girls move into their permanent quarters on time? Will the chicken wire get attached to the pen without putting us all in the nuthouse? AND ALL OF THIS TROUBLE FOR THREE DARN CHICKENS???????



Check out the next post to see the progress made in completing this grand structure and...also stay tuned to see if an egg makes its appearance before we leave town. We are hoping that Amber rises to the occasion soon!!!









The flag is raised for the "topping out ceremony."
