  • With hammer and screwdriver...

    I dunno, but I feel like the chicken coop project has taken on a life of it's own.  Far from being completed, this once simplistic opus has unraveled to a more complicated nightmare.  Bob Vila would shirk away with a profound grimace from this herculean endeavor.  Frankly I think it's too big...even at 4' long and 4' wide, 3' high in front, 2' in back, it appears huge.  I tell myself, it's six full size hens that'll be taking up residence soon.  I write with the despair and confusion of one who is out of his element. 

    Truthfully, I always wanted chickens and now as I approach that milestone of 40 years of age, this bum living on the outskirts of the city decided to finally give in.  One of them, a Rhode Island, has a huge freakish comb compared to the others...I fear this one is a rooster (if it is, I'm afraid I'll have to get rid of 'Cogburn').  No one really lives close to me, but across the street is a deputy sheriff I can ill afford to antagonize with the sounds of a rooster crowing.  Next door, they don't care.  On the other side of me is no one, but they will be building a 155-unit development for 'empty-nesters' and I doubt a bunch of retired yankees from New Jersey will appreciate this audible symbol of the rustic life.

    Tomorrow (this morning), I start yet another day on the coop...just one more day until the inevitable.  By the end of the week, my coop may well turn into an Ark (pun intended).  Noah had it better...
