Finally it's happened! Our Hen's on Holiday Caravan is complete and 5 beautiful Isa Brown Hens have moved into their new home, managed by Aubrey and Clementine our Indian runner ducks . I was waiting to post because I wanted the Liquid Amber tree to be in full leaf for the photographs. It's taken it's time this year and like a watched pot, its kept me waiting. It's not fully green yet...but you will now get the idea. This tree is a wonderful shade tree but it also screens our backyard from the not so pretty flats nearby.
Ahhhh the bunting. I wanted the bunting to sway from the tree like something out of an an Enid Blyton story.
Mr Picket Fence thought this was not possible.
I think he thought I was joking until I dragged his ladder out. He then offered to complete the task.
I think he thought I might make a big dent in his chicken wire if I fell from the tree. I think we were both kind of pleased he did it for me ;)
So pretty and fresh... I'm a bunting kind of girl......
But I think by now you may have guessed that I'm a cheery , joy loving , bunting kind of Picket Fence Mum.......
Thankfully Mr Picket Fence loves this about me too......hence Bunting xx
Love it ..... ?
And I'm a humourist ;)
Aubrey was pretty tickled.....as was Clementine.

The girls......
Checked everything out.....
And checked in :)

Oh Ava, I'm so so excited for you. the girls are beautiful. is this your first time chooks? i have a great book put out by the Earth Garden people titled "Chook Wisdom", came out a few years ago. I saw at the newsagent recently that they have done another one, probably called something catchy like 'more chook wisdom' i guess. I just want to come over there and meet the girls and A & Clem. best wishes, Jane x
ReplyDeletePS. I'm guessing it's too soon for you to reveal their names, or is it too hard to tell them apart yet?
Wishing I was one of your chooks ... ! M x
ReplyDeleteAva it looks great. We have nilly finished our pen (not quite as flash as yours it's an old dog run converted)and we pick up our cooks next week. Lachlan has already claimed head egg collector.
ReplyDeleteBest Hen house in the world!!
ReplyDeleteSuch lucky Chickens, I am sure they will be very happy and content there :) I love the bunting, it looks great strung up on the tree.
ReplyDeleteLucky chooks, what a set up and I'm sure they will appreciate the bunting.
ReplyDeleteAva....that really is one cool chook pen. I just so love the caravan.....I want to paint ours red with white spots now....although it is for the human variety.
ReplyDeleteAnd love the bunting too....I have put some around our baby lambs house....I think lambs like it too!!

I am so glad you now have your chooks in residence, I hope they give you lots of lovely eggs.
ReplyDeleteHi from Texas! You have the most resort-like hen environment I have ever seen! It's wonderful - amazing job on the polka dots, bunting and the chicken wire! Please give Mr. Picket my compliments. I love how it allows the trees to poke through. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have a better look around now, and I'm a new follower back!

ReplyDeleteTee hee, you remind me of my sister who did consider the most important part of her new chicken run to be the bunting!! But her chickens are seriously happy and yours also look so healthy and chuffed with their beautiful caravan palace, gorgeous photos!
