    Pics of my chicks and question

    We started our chicks on a vitamin mixed with the water from day one. I think they are much healthier as a result. The stuff is called Daily 72. They won't be on it long term but I figured with chicks why take a chance.

    Concerned about chickens overnight

    I hope you find them safe. My wife would be terrified.

    The wife found me a set of coach candle lamps for outside the front of the coop (Pullman Railroad Lamps). I will most likely electrify them.

    Quote: Yes, the fan was boxed in and directed to the ridge vent. I am waiting on a fan control taken off an old furnace. It will be mounted above on the truss and when the temperature rises will automatically turn on the fan. I used to be in HVAC.

    Quote: Thought I would give you a heads up. I visited your signature link and the majority of the pictures have been deleted. I think there might have been one left.

    The exterior of the coop is just about done. I still have a few small things to finish inside however. Then I will be turning my attention toward finishing a run.

    If you get a small tear in one of the bails and leave it outside where the water can get to it, the shavings expand, and the bale kinda explodes outward, tearing the rest of the plastic off, and making a real mess. Don't ask me how I know this............nosirrebob.......
