Chicks are scheduled for this week

Our 26 more chicks from Murray McMurray arrived this morning! Everyone is in the brooder keeping warm and eating and drinking. Zero losses from shipping.
 
Yay! That's great news!

Well phooey....

Instead of six Black Australorp hens, I received seven Black Jersey Giant hens. Not a bad breed as far as I can tell, but still not what I wanted. (yes, I had the "allow substitutions" option checked...my own fault.)

Did lose one of the BO from M McM. No idea if it was a male or female though. Also received an extra Red Star, but of course it's a male.
 
So originally my plan was to just lift the lid off the brooder every time I needed access, but I got tired of that real quick. Today's job was to add a hinged opening to the brooder for easier access.
