INCUBATING w/FRIENDS! w/Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs No problem!

[Jessimom]

Good morning everyone! I just read through a LOT of pages. 31 inches of snow!!! Glad the storms have moved on and you have some time to dig out. I loved the photo of the geese all lined up....but the Frizzled chick is the cutest thing I've ever seen! Only time I have seen a fox is when it ran in front of me as I was skiing through a narrow pass....I almost hit it. It was cute and fuzzy.

While most of you were being snowed on, we finished the first part of one of the new coops as a brooder room. Because of the compliance issue we had, we made the LARGE coop we were building into 2 small coops (or as we started calling them - sheds). Next weekend we will build the covered run, and add a door for these chicks to go outside. Top shelf will have the heat plate and the little babies. The bottom currently has my 7 week old chicks. We covered the plywood with flooring vinyl, to make it easier to clean - anyone see a problem with that? Here some photos as the construction was happening.

@Sally Sunshineno I'm at work. M-F 5:15/30A.M.to 5-7P.M. and some Sat mornings. I am hoping to be able to drive without too much pain by the time I am empty. I just have to suck it up, life doesn't stop for pain as we all know.

I'm going to try to teach them!!! I'm hoping the woodchips or straw will cover that up!! Free flooring - you can't complain!

I did the vinyl thing, too; bought it cheap @ Ollie's. My mistake (or 1 of them) was not making the bottom a "slider", like a dresser drawer. The result was that I had to bend the sheet of vinyl to get it through the door; bent it too much & cracked it...in August.

@Sally Sunshine You dropped me from the hatching list....

I have 12 shipped Salmon Favorelles and 11 shipped Cochins set on 1/15, should hatch on 2/4. I also have 12 of my own silkies set on 1/23, should hatch 2/12.

Thanks!!!

This vinyl has been sitting in a storage shed for about 4 years. We thought for sure it would crack, but it behaved. Both shelves will lift out, but we'd have to take the doors off. It's a concrete floor underneath and I'll just hose the shelving off, as I move the chicks out.
