Just being silly
Here is the "chicken door" with new door, new plywood facing, and re purposed barrel bolt. I got rained out before I could move the chickens into the coop, but this would have been the day except for the rain.
Here is the same door, with a better view of the frame repairs.
Here is another repair. The chicken door was rotted, as was the frame and much of the bottom 24" of the siding. It was still structurally good, but lacks a certain "curb appeal." The door will have a bolt on the outside and it will open directly into their run.

Here are the chicks (some of them) after being here six days. They arrived last Tuesday 2/18 and today is Monday 2/24.
My chicks arrived today. Red sex links from Ideal Poultry. I placed them in the brooder with no mishaps (yay!). The found their feed and water with no problem. After just a short period of "huddling" they began to spread out and enjoying their new digs.
Here is the inside of the first brooder compartment. The heat lamp in the rear is a 125watt from Lowe's, but I'll use red heat lamps (150watt) in all compartments where I have chicks. The back is still a little wet from cleaning.
