The Move Begins

Today we moved our patio set and all of our potted plants from the deck to our new home in the country. High winds play havoc with items on decks and we figured if they had to be moved we might as well let them be our first items at the new house.

Tomorrow we will buy plywood to create some secure rooms in our house and test the generator. We will also make provisions to bring all of the breeders inside if the projected winds here are expected to exceed 45 mph. This isn't as easy as it sounds since Sonia has two fertile Vos eggs and the Ducorp's have been "playing house" inside their nest box.

A friend of ours has a generator and an incubator and will take the eggs. This means that at the time of our move we will be feeding babies every two hours around the clock. Nobody said moving was easy.

We hope the storm hits east of here. Even 30 miles means 50% lower wind speeds. To all of our friends in the area we wish you our best during the storm. If you evacuate take your birds, please. It may be 4-5 days before you can return.
