    First time coop build-BONEYARD

    Chicks are 21 days old. They grow so fast!! All 26 had a couple hours of play time and their first time outside in the "BoneYard". This gave me a chance to clean out the brooder. I think the dogs are used to them already. They just sat there and watched the chicks peck around. Fun, Fun!!

    Finally got my chicks!!

    Sad morning. I checked on the chicks at 10:30 last night all were good. Woke up at 2:30 went to check on them and one was laying dead. So sad. It looked like paste butt clogged him up. I've only had a few I had to clean so far. I feel horrible. I should have checked on them sooner. Good...
