I got the wall for the second stall done, the barn now has 3 sections. The plan was to have the middle for feed, tack & supplies. One end stall for the geese & one end for the guinea hens. But the early addition of the horses has slightly changed things. As you can see I have put the hay in the new stall. The barn has a hayloft but until I build a pulley system I have no way to get it up there. I will get that done before winter. Doing the electric was way easier than I thought it would be! I still need to get some large U nails to attach the wire cables to the ceiling rafters. There is a light switch in the garage but I might put one in the barn too later on.
The goslings will be here Wednesday, they will stay over night in a brooder set up in the house then they will go into this "Chick Corral" until the guinea arrive on the 30th. Then the goslings will go out in the stall and the guinea chicks will go in the "Chick Corral". 
Mark helped me with the chicken run frame and I was amazed at how quickly we got it done! This will be a temporary outside in closer to keep the babies safe until they are big enough that the crows & hawks wont bother them. Then it will be taken down. It is smaller than I had planed but it wont be needed for long.
I am really loving working on/in the barn! As I sit in my spot reflecting, I still have many more projects to do. But I look forward to them as I am LIVING the dream!
