Thank you. :)
It was so nerve wracking waiting for them with all the USPS craziness this time around. I hope yours all arrive quickly & in good health, too! How many do you have coming?
Thank you! :)

Tonight (7/20) when I went out...
Beautiful coop! You and your wife did a great job with it. And THANK you for posting the picture of poor Roofus trying to go down the ramp. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time! lol :)
