The day after Thanksgiving...

Most people do this...
Or even this...
Or sometimes this...
Not this crew...We move chicken houses!

Chicken houses you say?

A House for chickens?

Yes!

Move'en......it.

Unfortunately for the chicken house, it roosted right where we are planning a house project in the spring. So we moved great grandma Lillian's chicken house up to grandma and grandpa's (Truth be told, I think the chickens are breathing a sigh of relief.). No small feat mind you. But nothing is too tough for this crew.

Even moving....a chicken house.


Lifting...ever so gently...

She rides...
Headed for the open road...
"The sky is falling!"
Almost there...
Safely home...to roost.

Dearest chickens, we will miss you. I will miss the boys mistaking dirt in the city for chicken poop. I will miss the feather assortment in my yard. I know you are in wonderful hands...and the boys know you're not too far....

All I can say is, "WOW." Don't know anyone around here who can claim that herculean feat. Very impressed. =)

A) Were the chickens still in the house when you moved it?
B) What project are you doing in the spring? Perhaps you could use some extra hands...
