I'll take better pictures once I'm home and ask on the identifying section of the forum. Haha

Pictures of my sweet babies! My husband and I are learning their personalities more and more. Half of them have names, the other half are still undecided. We’ve decided on a tree theme with their names as we live in the wooded country. We’ve been hand feeding them multiple times a day to socialize them more. I’m pretty smitten with them.

Very cute! I've been meaning to ask, did you build your own coop or did you find instructions somewhere? I like what you have there.

I have a Brinsea EcoGlow 50, one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. They love it.

I used some free plans from HGTV... The overall structure is fine but a couple of measurements in the plans were wrong/typoed etc. The '''supply" list at the beginning of the plans listed thing that are never used and ALL treated lumber which isn't necessary. Otherwise the design itself is cool though .

Hooray another PNW native!
My husband and I are born and raised in clatsop county, we love all the beauty nature has to offer us here! How exciting to be getting your little balls of fluff so soon, sounds like your future eggs will be a gorgeous bunch! So jealous of FBCM, MPC was all out when I ordered. I settled with the welsummers. I hope yours travel well, I’m certainly thankful mine did.

I love the tree names idea!!
I like the themed naming idea. I'm a little tempted to use Disney princesses or Harry Potter characters or something.
Anyway, I am now home and have taken some pictures.
Here's a group shot of everyone:
