    Birds are ready, coop isn't!

    That's wonderful! My husband is an oncologist so his workload will only get increasingly unbearable until he finally retires or drops dead. I've quit my job in order to run things and be the parent. I'm borrowing a second 100 gal trough to get the birds through the next week or two...

    Birds are ready, coop isn't!

    These are good suggestions. After telling my husband I plan to put chickens (and their mess) in our guest suite, he has committed to getting the coop built by the end of the weekend. Then I can paint and let it out gas for a few days. Hopefully we can get them into the coop in about 10 days...

    If I didn't have everything from weasels, snakes, raccoons, and badgers to birds of prey, bears, Bobcats and cougars, these guys would be outside in my tent. Lol So far they're all being very nice to eachother, but we're facing at least another two weeks before completion. I have one more dog...

    Birds are ready, coop isn't!

    The oldest chickens are 8 weeks, the youngest chickens are 6 weeks, the gosling is 8 weeks, the duck is 6 weeks. If I take them outside for supervised play time we have red tail hawks diving for them in under 5 minutes. It's ridiculous.

    Birds are ready, coop isn't!

    Help! I need suggestions. We spontaneously rescued/adopted 11 chicks, one gosling, and one duck. The problem is that my husband works 80+ hours per week and we've had a ridiculous amount of rain over the past month, so our coop and run aren't ready yet. Our property has every predator is the...
