Hi again, and thanks all!
Sorry I haven't been around and have been rude not answering, we've been so busy! I feel like I never actually get a summer anymore, between the beehives and projects we're always creating for ourselves.
But we got our chickens last night! 6 pullets - one silvered wyandotte, one australorp, one barred rock, two araucanas, and one buff orpington (Martina, Cher, Lita, Reba, Adele, and Miranda). They're so pretty!
The coop is built like Fort Knox, and they won't be out of the run without us, and then in the chicken tractor we still have to build, or the fenced veggie garden. We're so exited! I didn't want to go to bed last night; just stay up and watch the girls. We got up half an hour early this morning just to go open their coop door and see how they were doing. Poor things are tough to coax out of the coop into the run; they're 14 weeks old and I don't think they've ever been outside before. My husband (who I found out the other day is also on this forum! ha!) put carrots down the ramp to try and encourage them.
When we took the dogs out this morning, they were going nuts trying to see and figure out what was in the coop. Tails wagging, big smiles, you could just hear in their heads, "New friends? What is that? New friends?" They're such dopes. Smart, but definitely dopey. Unfortunately my photos of the 100% finished coop are on my "good" camera, not the phone, and the office computer can't read the SD card. So those'll have to wait, but here's an idea.
