Helpful hints for building coops

[NewBoots]

got word today. my hip surgery is called off until further notice.. who knows when ??
I am sort of relieved. I had mixed emotions about spending some time in a hospital right now..

Can't say that I blame you. I had something going on that gave me a little concern but I won't be going in to any clinics unless a foot falls off or something.

Yeah, the hospital is not a great place to be this year.
Here is the brooder I have been working on enlarging.

I got the uprights in, heat lamp boxes installed, and the plywood for the front and back installed.

Our coop and run are finally complete and the chicks are doing fine in the brooder, I can't wait till they're big enough to let loose in the run. I wish we had enough room for a small flock of roasters but there just isn't. Can't complain though and any surprise roos we get will qualify as roasters anyway.

rooster,,,roaster funny how one letter change can make a chicken go from a pet to a pot .. I just made that up..
I did get out and work on the roof parts today.
got quite a bit accomplished.
tomorrow I will set up a stop on the chop saw and knock out 8 common rafters.. the set up will take longer than the actual cutting..
then I will set up a sled on the table saw and cut the 8 ceiling joists.. again the set up will take longer than the cutting..

Condolences....
We know from the minute we let them into our hearts, that one day they will break them.

The joy we gain by loving them will, in time, once again outweigh the sadness they can bring to our lives.
