    Now I have to cut the grass-another project i was It's a tunnel for cats. I can't explain it. The last 3 days have been awful with rain. They wouldn't be covered. I'm going to work on it after work on Sat and all day Sun to get as much done as possible. I will have them out there with me...

    It's not even close to being secure. The wire isn't even up. It's wide open. I'm going to try to get as much done as possible this weekend. I'm way stressed out right now.

    Here they are--tomorrow I'm bringing some weeds and dirt in for them. They have been outside but now they are to big and trying to get them in and out takes a long time. I can't fit the pekin in the carrier anymore...

    Do I really have to keep chicks in brooder for 6 weeks?

    Meanwhile mine are way overdue to be outside and I'm still working on the enclosure. I have put in about 20 hrs and I feel like I got nowhere. Most of that time was getting the rabbits situated(and they still are not completely situated) because in order to do what I needed to do they needed...

    I did try to put a screen over it. That was an epic fail.. They actually are ok. They hop out and hop back in. Not a huge mess. When they sit on the edge their butts are over the inside, so the poop ends up in the brooder.
