All ready! Got the dirt in around the edges, got it roughly level and full of water... still no fish yet, I need to go get some clean aquarium gravel and some fresh plants to put in there, and maybe let the temps come up a little before moving the fish and snails out there. I think the longer the water sits and gets it's little ecosystem going the better :~)

That setting is great you guys did a super job. We didn’t think it was warm enough up there to do this yet. What is the cover thingy on your birdbath.

I like the little pond!

We went to the local farm supply store and looked at chicks yesterday. Since we’re getting Becky’s rooster and will need a good pen for it, I figured we might as well build the pen big enough for two or three hens.

I was thinking of calling the rooster “Spike”, but have reconsidered. I think I’ll call him “Mr. Darcy”.
