Reece's Pieces

So what good are chickens? For one thing, they eat scorpions, tarantulas, and fer-de-lance snakes. For another, they grow up, lay eggs, and make more chickens. And as they grow, they get taken home by people up on the hill who want to have their own chickens, lay eggs, and make still more chickens.

We have three laying mommies, with broods of different ages. McNugget’s chicken coop had gotten crowded; much squawking over space.

In stepped Reece Robbins, a volunteer visiting here for an indefinite time. He was well into a round-the-world bicycle trip, when he was told by a doctor he had to give it up. Now, he continues his journey on foot, bus, whatever works, and we’re so grateful to have him with us for a while.

We asked him if he’d like to build a chicken coop. “Piece of cake”, he replied. After inventorying the materials on hand, he laid out what’s needed. After a trip to the hardware store, he began a work of art.

Several days later, we were introduced to one of “Reece’s Pieces”.....



Casa Reece. . .

After some curtains to shade the bright afternoon sun, Mrs. Red and her brood-to-be enjoy living the life of luxury in their spacious new home. Stylin’ !

Thank you, Reece!
