The chicks are 5.5 weeks old and the coop is coming along. Our fresh air coop!

Chicks are two weeks old. Day two of the chicken coop build the posts are set and some of the floor framing is done. We’ll leave that until next weekend. To be continued.

How’s the coop coming along?

The red heat light was brutal. The peepers are just over a week old now. I bought a kit for them that came with a red heat light. That light was brutal and they never once laid down and basked under it. So, I bought a black heat light and within minutes it was soft peeps and they settled in just like this. I had never seen them do this under the red light.

The chicks have arrived, and are already showing off their musical talents!

We have started our chicken journey. The six baby chicks are on order, scheduled to arrive May 24th. We are building the Woods open air coop 6x10 version with a 6x12 run attached to the front since the girls won’t be able to run the yard during the day. This is our site. It will sit towards the back of the yard in between the trees facing south. We have a lot to do.
