They Shipped!

Looks like there were no substitutions. Now it is a tracking effort and praying they all arrive safe and sound.

… madly catching up…

This thread is going to be nuts for the next several months! I am staying up late here to try to keep up!

I figure lots of happenings in the next few weeks.

 

[BY Bob]

Oh, gosh! This is so fraught making! I am nervouse for you.

I have that wonderful feeling like right before a big presentation. Nervous anticipation.

 

[BY Bob]

It looks fabulous. I’m not surprised. I knew it would!
Now it’s ready for the babies!!!

Thanks so much. I just need to get the doors sorted tomorrow morning.

 

[BY Bob]

That build turned out beautiful Bob.

Thank so much. Never again in the run like that.

 

[BY Bob]

I meant the wide screen TV

Not until they are pullets. Then they get the game console.

How do you do that?
@...... I have asked in turkey thread but was never told.
Tag a person or whatever it's called.

Type @ then immediately following type the name. As you type a name, it will appear in a selection box, you can select it or you can just type it.

It's lovely Bob. Is Mrs BY Bob going to paint it & will it match Fluffy Butt?

Yes, she will paint it. Likely a different color but a complimentary one. We need to choose a color scheme for it. We are not that prepared. She is leaning towards a shade of peach.

Good question.

The chicks arrive tomorrow. They will be in the old brooder through the day so I can provide nutridrench, check for pasty butt, etc.

Early Wednesday morning, before light, I will remove the ceramic eggs and slip her the chicks. If she accepts them, I will leave them in the walled off section of the coop until nighttime Wednesday. Then I will move the whole family over.

If Phyllis does not accept them, I will move the chicks over and brood them there.

This is where I am now. This is uncharted territory.

One thought on the chicken wire divider in that coop - is it chick-safe, maybe put some hardware cloth, or some other material on the lower parts on the Phyllis side?
