Thanks Deb! Left the 760 one year ago and don't regret it one bit.

I sped up the process and moved them out today. They seem to like the new environment and took to the nipples in no time. I was kind of amazed but once the first girl hit it and figured it out, they all were getting drinks.

Took the MHP out yesterday. They are too big now and it takes up too much space in the coop. They are eight weeks now and fully feathered out. The coop has been in the garage but in the next week or so, it will get wheeled out into the yard. Other than loosing one in the first week, they are...
