Well the good folks on the cochin thread have dashed all hopes for me having any more females. So of the 9 live chicks from NYD, 7 are boys! But the good part is they are cute as a button!

Mary, thanks for all the excellent pictures of the barn make-over. So many good ideas, and my H2B is excited to build me a better coop (love that man) but he's really really new to chickens so he's looking for ideas. I'm going to give him this thread and let him see all the pics of your setup.

Ironically, I had wanted to do the nest boxes like your in my original design a few years ago but it didn't work out that way. Now my plan has changed a little. Since the Icelandics seem more than capable of getting up high, I would like to put the nest boxes on legs, elevating them off the floor 3 feet or so, and enclose around the legs. This will give me a space to store the bins I keep feed in which I can access from the brooder room without using up additional floor space.

Now I'm off to work.
 
My pens are full!

I may have to auction some Icelandic eggs and begin a Build Me a Pen fund.

I have 30 of them in the bator and 6 on the counter. If those 6 find their way into the bator, DH has threatened eviction.

But I just cant stop hatching them.

I was thinking the same thing!

I don't think Cheryl is an ENABLER, she's just trying to restrain herself. Afterall, with a spare bator gone, she can't hatch as much.

I think Cheryl is trying to keep up with Kathy!
