Yes my kids are very excited also!! I saw that the hatchery adds 4% of the chicks you order. Do they always do that with every order? I'm excited to get a couple extra. I ordered 14 so we'll see. Good luck!!

I've always been a little timid around power tools,
but now I have to build an 8x12 chicken coop
and I don't think I want to do that much hammering.
. . . I think it's time for the nail gun.

Lol. Yes I have to be prepared. I have 3 kids and am very busy with them so I have no other choice. Lol I was already playing with the heat lamp and temps. Yesterday. Still trying to get the brooder started. It has to get done today. Plus my husband works out if town 5 days a week so he only has the weekends to make it and I'm scared to try. Lol

Don't be scared to try! Just don't look down the business end of the nail gun and keep digits away from the saw blade! I think in a lot of ways women are better at building things because they tend to plan more and be more patient, they just often lack the confidence.....give it a go!

Haha thank u!! I think I will try it out with my hubby helping me a little today. I think I can do it. And your right I am patient and plan more and very organized and neat. So we'll see. Better get it started!!!
