So, I made some chickens. Two to be precise. They have an open bottom which hides a little chick and an egg (or any such thing, but those two are what actually come with them). These, like just about everything else, are available in the shop now-ish.

Monty Wants a Playpen

And I'm going to indulge him. Unfortunately there are no "outdoor rabbit pen" ideas/pictures/plans. The closest thing I could find are chicken coop patterns which will work just fine. The principle is still the same.

Project Chicken even includes some homemade plans for building it.

I think Monty really need the "egg inspection hatch".

I like this one better from Backyard Chickens but it doesn't come with any plans. There ARE enough photos though to make an educated guess about the construction. I think it's doable, especially if Dad helps. There's no WAY I'm doing this by myself.

This guinea pig house is just funny. Guinea Pig ark.. hah!

Oh, and this kitty run too! I think it would be a little funny to take the sand bags off and watch the kitty roll around the yard. Poor kitty... it doesn't look very happy.

The O-Farm

I had another class about bees today which was amazing. We got to wear bee suits, have bees crawl their little bodies all over us and I got to watch some chickens lay eggs because I was early for class.

Chickens, not laying eggs. Chickens definitely laying eggs.
Star, not laying eggs but wearing an out-of-this-world hip bee suit. Right after this picture she pretended to be walking on the moon around the perimeter of the garage-turned-headquarters of the O-farm (as the Organic Farm shall henceforth be dubbed).

Fantastic.

Churkey!

Cynthia found this MASSIVE chicken at San Lorenzo and has been dying to make a sunday supper chicken. Wish granted. This sucker was almost 5 pounds and it looked like, at some point a chicken and a turkey got together, fell in love and spawned this bit of insanity. This could only happen in a picturesque ruraly farm scene, complete with gently rolling hills and lush greenery with this monster wandering around until someone decided it looked tastey enough to kill it.

A very proud Cynthia.

This bird is so big it needs to be craddled like a baby.

AMAZING.

The pie from heaven, courtesy of Cynthia.

He even had a bit of his sturdy, yellow legs still there. And some feathers. It was... what's the word I'm looking for? Oh, that's right, awesome.

Now he has little vegetable friends to keep him company in his new oven home.

Dinner is SERVED!

I don't think I need to tell you that I had pie... and some green beans. But mostly pie.
