I have no clue was hoping someone would know lol the bin at ours just said Red Pullets

Here is an updated photo today since we moved them outside

Nearly finished just needs siding, door on the nest boxes and decide what kind of hen door I want. Not bad for having no plans and less than 24 hours lol

We are building it on posts so it will be above ground, just can't cement the posts right now. It's like an underwater water source if that makes any sense lol

Stayed up late throwing together this 4x4 for our 6 pullets since April showers here mean a flooded backyard we can't work on the permanent coop. Total cost $0 The joys of remodeling our home = coop scraps :p Any ideas of things I might overlook/miss ?? Planning on a PVC feeder and nesting...

All look like girls to me

The bin said Red Pullets

We are on the outskirts of Des Moines near Norwoodville, 6 Red Pullets 4 ducklings (2 pekin, 1 mallard and 1 Swedish)

Here's some updated pics, hope they're okay. Lighting was horrible since its raining out we haven't been outside to take pics. Pullets still??

We compared the price of materials and are building ours. It was around $700 to buy one I wanted and my husband figured he could build something better for around $500.

We have 4 ducklings (2 pekin,1 mallard, 1 Swedish & 6 red Pullets. How many Brewers Yeast tablets should I give?? They share food.

Spent the past 2 days whipping up a new brooder for our 6 Pullets and 2 ducklings. Really pleased with how it turned out considering it only cost around $20 (maybe less) to throw together. Most of the items we had on hand. The post on the right is for the heat lamp to clamp on to

Thank you! Where is the best placement for the thermometer?? Under the light or away from it?

We went to TSC for chick feed and came home with these two little guys. Any tips for first timers would be GREAT! :)

Here's a few pics of the smaller one that has more red/brown on the back
