A Little After Before

Over the weekend we (meaning my neighbor Niko and his friend and my son Tyler and his friend's) cleared out the backyard. I'm so proud of them. It is starting to look amazing in my little yard. All of the debris has been cleared away, the trees have been cut back, the railroad ties have been moved over to the garden spot and I have the coop area all mapped out. I even planted grass seeds over the weekend.

Here is a picture of the yard, while Nikko was clearing away the rocks and trimming the trees on the fence line.

Don't mind all of the crap in my neighbors yard, hopefully they will be so inspired they will get back there and pick up their trash.
I'm just glad that my chickens have a nice clean space to grow and lay beautiful eggs.

TRACTOR SUPPLY COMPANY
Over the weekend, I also made the trip to Tractor Supply.  That has become TARGET for chicken supplies.  I love shopping at TARGET, now I love shopping at Tractor Supply.  Had never actually been inside a TSC (for short).  They do not have their chicks yet, but they have everything else.  The chick feed, grit, oyster shells, galvanized buckets, feeders and waterers.  All the supplies needed to keep the chickens growing.  Met Joey at the store on "L" St. Saturday.  Hoping his starter flock takes off.  it was nice meeting and talking to someone just starting out.  I'll have to keep in contact with him.

Today I'm filling out the permit application for having poultry within the city limits.  Have to make everything legal.  The application was hard to find, so here's a link: Omaha - Douglas County Animal permit application
