This is so exciting Bob...I love new construction and seeing how things are built!
They are amazing supervisors...

No more chicks yet, but had a visit from a different baby....

Now that they've headed back the way they came, I'll go check the coop again

I found a locust in the run and Hattie and Lilly shared it. Lilly got the head and wings.

Mama has left the nest (better part of 48 hours after the 1 hatched). Only the 1, no pips on the rest of the eggs. Assuming all the babies reach adulthood, I'll have 19 birds: 2 roos (1 JERSEY giant Rusty, 1 Hamburg Cheetah), 1 colombian wyandotte Silver, 2 partridge rocks Mama and Reverend Mother/Flirt (responds to courting but won't allow mating), 2 Houdans Thing1 and Thing 2, 2 Golden wyandottes Goldy and Tawny, 2 white Sapphire? Splash and Blanca, 1 Dorking Bear, 1 Barred Rock with weird colors Cuckoo, 1 RIR Sheba, 1 Silver Phoenix Helen, 1 Cream Legbar? TWIRP, 1 Dominique Nika, 1 Welsummer Wellie, and 1 hatchling Storm.

You are really going fast. It's been months and our coop still isn't done. Although we had to redo the whole base in steel due to the toxicity of cedar wood. (It won't be going to waste). After that we've got to cut openings, vents, the roof, the run, and all the doors needed. Slow but steady hopefully means fortified.
