The Almost Ranch Heaven

I think I’m going to get it made into piece of iron for hanging on the gate, where it can rust to a lovely patina.

I love The Goatel and Fort Chickenderoga. And isn't it funny that it does take a while to figure out what you want to do with your chickens/garden/goats and property?

Melinda - Still chuckling to myself over "Goatel". Terrierman - I always read the fine print, and usually it's hiding the devil. But not on that poster, where it's a gem. "Make saving, not spending, your social standard." Genius. Gina - Love the coop, the yard, and the art.

Melinda - Still chuckling to myself over “Goatel”.

And I *really* love the artsy chicken for adornment! We are almost finished building a mobile coop that looks quite similar to yours. After 3 years with chickens, I've decided that a raised coop is the only way to go. We've dubbed ours 'Fort Chickenderoga' due to the fortress-like quality of the engineering standards my husband uses whenever he builds something. Centuries from now, our house may be an archeological ruin but I'll bet that The Goatel and Fort Chickenderoga are still standing. Love it! And I *really* love the artsy chicken for adornment!

I always treat myself to something at the end of a book project. Now I know what that something will be!
