Remote door.  That is BRILLIANT!

One city boy husband that I'm converting to a poultry boy, 3 daughters, 3 Mallards, 2 dogs, one cat: and the bator's plugged in.  Hatching addict, BYC addict and you can find me in the forum "formerly known as hatch day is today" with my friends: Miss Lydia, Critterrun, StillMecle, GrannyCarol, JulieNKC, DuckGirl89, 70%Cocoa, Evelle and JazminesZoo.  I love my Gurlz!

I'll see what I can do Cuqui18. If there are any pics the DH has them on his computer so I'll get him to sent them to you or I'll send them to you.
I'll let you know though! smile
