laugh 'til it hurts
The housemates have been talking about keeping chickens for at least a year. An acquaintance had three hens and a coop of which she wished to be rid. Voilà The chickens have arrived.
A friend of Ben's supplied the pickup truck and they came back with a fairly big coop and three hens. The coop proved more difficult to get through the side gate to the back yard than anticipated. The situation made me laugh until we were holding up one end of the (very heavy) coop and the other end was crashing into the trim on the house and my back started to protest.
I left it to the would-be urban farmers to move it the rest of the way, ouch. I came inside and took naproxen sodium, so I should still be able to move in the kitchen tonight.
