Nope, just riding home.

No progress, Sally. Babies are wiggling that I can see. Humidity is too low?

@Sally Sunshine

I think the yellow one has made a full rotation since I've been home.

Man, it sure is nice having the roof finished. Now I can work out there without having to check for wet spots whenever I walk in. I nailed a big tarp across the opening where the big door's going, to keep out the wind, rain & snow 'til I can get the double doors made & up.This morning I cut a piece for the bottom 3' of the people door & got the 1st coat of paint on it. I wasn't planning a dutch door, I had a piece of 1/2 that will work, so dutch door it is. Actually, it'll work out nice; I can leave the top half open in hot weather for some cooling. I'll be adding 2x4 cross-bucks to all the doors for rigidity. I'm anxious to get it up & functional so the chickens will stop thinking it's their personal latrine.

Do you realize you can't buy regular 1/2" plywood anymore? The closest you can get is 15/32", and they want 2 arms, a leg, & your first born child for it. I said "screw that" & bought 3 sheets of OSB & a 1/2 gal. of flat white exterior paint. That should do the job 'til I move to the other side of the grass.

One of the reasons I quit free range. Poop everywhere. OSB should be fine.

Is it normal for them to shiver and try to eat stuff immediately after hatching??
