Believe it or not, out first coop proved to not be big enough, well, what did I expect, after mr. sassafras went and got himself 20 (!) baby pheasants! (they are cheaper by the dozen) The getting was fun, after a really long drive, we got to the seller's house, walked out back with Trouble and the kids in tow...when "what to my wondering eyes should appear..." a beautiful, gorgeous, gigantanormous EMU!!!! He was beautiful....totally cool, looks just like a dinosaur, his feet are awesome - I named him Kevin, after the bird in the pixar movie"Up"....unfortunately, we don't seem to have addequate fencing for a bird his size :( Believe me, I did my research... Anyway, the kids got to go into the pheasant coop and hand pick their choices...Mau picked the cutest, littlest one that unfortunately was dead by the time we got him home....but other than that, they did really good...
Of course, 20 new babies meant we needed a new coop, and after more than a few reminders from yours truly, mr. sassafras finally did come through, not without the help of my little mr. boy peep himself, who of course thrives on building anything, so there you have it, before and after, another palace in our yard....
