But, will it work???

Built a brooder yesterday and put 12 chicks in it today [please see my BYC Page]. The coop will get its test soon. Thanks! --jim

Sooner than I thought. The chicks are in the coop, in their brooder. Live streaming video at cyclingexperiences dot com webcam [chickens --jim

This coop is working very well so far. The chicks seem to like it and the 200+ feet run I have added. I've posted pictures here on My Page [individual pictures can be viewed at my jalexartis flickr account]. Details are in my CyclingExperiences Blog . I wish the coop were cooler at night. I have good ventilation and an exhaust fan. I see them pant a bit when they first go to roost. BTW, you can see the live on my webcam [also on my blog]. They are in the run during the day--cameras to be added later. Thanks! --jim

It certainly helps me know whats happening with the chicks and keeps the grand kids chick-aware. Thanks on the coop.

There is lots of webcam activity on the coop main floor now and for the next hour or so...

Thanks!

P.S. The chicks are almost in total darkness--save the diner light. The camera now sees with its IR lights. I generally only have the florescent lights on for about an hour, That so they can jostle about. The seem to enjoy the windows and watch me as I work. They all slept in the south tower until last night. Now, the north tower is in vogue. At least, I know they know there are 2 places to roost.
