Wind Damage

Went to clean out chicken house late this AM. Watched it blow completely over as I walked up to it. Had a large wind storm today and it was sitting broadside in the direct path of the wind. Fortunately, chickens were outside at the time and none of us were in its path when it fell. Sent Makenzie for Mary to help.

Rounded up the chickens and put them in something temporary to hold them. Mary and I were able to lift the house back up with some effort. We then pushed it to a new place that was not sitting in direct path of prevailing wind.

Next, came the clean-up. Water, food and bedding had flung everywhere At least there was no egg mess, Makenzie had just collected them. Cleaned everything out of it, refilled everything and then put the chickens back into the house. 

We were lucky. The chickens were not injured and the house appears to have no permanent damage.
