Crowing
Coop is just about done. I need to finish the nesting boxes and add 4" of sandy dirt on the floor. I have been keeping the birds in the coop during the day while i work on it after the hawk made a pass at them in the temporary pin. They don't seem to be bothered by power tools. I'll get some pics up soon. I have until Tuesday to get it finished. Going to the hospital cath lab Wednesday. I might be on light duty for a few days or so.
Tomorrow will be their first night in the coop. I got back from Lowes about 3pm today and didn't see any little chickens running around. I ran in the back yard to see where they were and everyone of them had their little backsides up high on the roost out of sight. Six of the ten birds will be 5 weeks old Wednesday and the others 4 weeks old. Its 90°-75° the next ten days so. My baby chick days in a dog kennel are over. They will have to coop with it now.
