Let’s see if any are brave enough to venture out of the coop for the first time?

They are settling in just nice! It was a lot of work to build it but happy wife, happy life!! I love it too! 😂

I can’t believe they are teenagers already!! Lol

Gave the babies a treat today! They love their mealworms!!

Growing so fast!!

They love it!!!

The little ones are enjoying their!! new home.

The babies have been relocated!!

Our babies are ready to go outside! We cleaned out the coop today and will be moving them in tomorrow. I installed plastic dipped hardware cloth on the entire floor! Sprayed for bugs, put diatomaceous earth down every where, new bedding! It got kind of late so we decided to wait till the morning...

We got our coop ready today!! Our babies are now officially 6 weeks old!! We put plastic dipped hardware cloth on the floor because we were having some rat problems with the old flock. They were digging under the bottom 2x4’s. This should keep them out for good!

Wow! The baby’s aren’t baby’s anymore! It’s amazing how fast they are growing! We really love the new brooder set up!! The girls love it too and it’s very easy to clean and we don’t have to worry about the fire hazard!! We are going on 4 and 5 weeks right now!

Cleaned out the chick pen today!! Fresh bedding and raised the water up one more block. I can’t believe how fast they are going. I think we are going to move them to the coop next week and keep the brooder with them.

We gave our little ones mealworms today for the first time! They loved them!! They are 3 and 4 weeks old this week!! Should be ready for their coop mid April!!

Thanks pennyJo!
