Building my first coop/run

[Squawkers]

How old are your babies?

 

[Squawkers]

I really like your roost arrangement, I think it will suit the chickens very well

How old are your babies?

I believe they're between 4 and 5 weeks.

Y’all are getting it ready just in time! How much longer until it is completely finished do you think? (I’d love a picture if them if you don’t mind)

Here is some of them eating out of my hand this morning

And here's one right before she pooped on my leg LOL

And here's a group shot from last night after a fresh bedding change

We'll be done within a week. Painting will be the very last thing we do. I won't mind if they need to stay indoors a little longer with the fact that this is the totally wrong time of year to be doing this. They don't seem too bothered to be indoors with a nice warm light haha

So cute!! They sure do like to poop on people yeah, I bet they don’t mind it inside. I bet they will be super excited about all the extra space though.

You can kill the nice warm light or dim it/move it further away/turn it off during the day. They're well feathered already. Start weaning them off heat so they can go out as soon as paint dries.
