As fall approaches we begin to think about the process of choosing our new breeding stock and with thirteen different breeds it takes a lot of barn space. Thirteen different breeds means keeping a lot of extra roosters on hand. Breeding is not as easy as just throwing a hen and rooster together and hoping for the best. Well, as Larry and I stood outside talking about beginning the whole process we decided it was time to make the barn bigger. When we built this barn about three years ago we had out grown our old barn and thought this would be plenty of space but as I'm sure you know you can never have to much space and so the building process begins again.
This our other barn and both are full of birds.
Most of the building supplies have been delivered.
The trusses came on a semi truck today. No these do not all belong to us. Ours is the tiny stack on the back end. Apparently someone in our area is also building a new house.
When Larry built the barn he was thinking about the future and knew that someday we might want to expand. So he made it to where he could take the whole backside off, build on and then put the backside back on. He has the back ready to remove and he's beginning construction.
Making good progress. He's almost ready to put up the trusses.
We've made a lot of changes in three years time. I'll share the progress as the new part of the barn goes up. It's an exciting time for us and we look forward to having more space.
Have a great day!
Angie
