Good evening everyone!! Finally got one of our old sends that was once a coop long ago and then a shed AGAIN, transformed into a grow out pen for my 5 weeks olds! Worked alongside hubby and it turned out better than I thought, with us piecing it together with materials we already had. They all seemed pretty happy too after the initial confusion...lots more room...very protected and predator proof...and hubby had a great idea and brought in this old metal frame that typically holds feed buckets/troughs and it the PERFECT multi-roost for all the babies! They were already jumping around on it and getting acclimated within a few minutes of being in there.

This is not a forever coop/pen...just for the grow out phases of each group.

Oh, wow, he looks a lot like my Daisy (of blessed memory), one of my rescue greyhounds. LOVED to be near me all the time. Insisted on standing there to watch me fold laundry. Guarded me in the bathroom to make sure I didn't fall in the toilet. Hovered at the edge of the tub (occasionally dipping her nose in the water) when I took a bath. She was a sweet girl - I miss her. Greyhounds are awesome dogs. But I decided to not get chickens until I didn't have dogs anymore. 
Doesn't look like gall bladder or stones. What are you calling the pancreas? I know what a pancreas looks like (normal and abnormal) in people, no idea in chickens. I'm still puzzled at that funny structure...

Isn't that more like the Hundred Years War?
Yup, Hundred Years War...

You'll love the Turkens!!!! (I always just call them Naked Necks. Maybe I have a subconscious desire to type "naked" as often as I can... ). Cross with Polish will be AMAZING looking!

I don't have the links, but I've just gotta say, your new avatar is FREAKING ME OUT!!!!! 

OK, I may linger a little longer, but I'm heading to bed early so I can get the rooster processed early tomorrow...

Congrats!!!! Moving out day is always such an enormous relief. I still need to build my growout tractor for the littles (currently about 2.5 weeks) - I still have another week or two, but I know that'll be up in no time... At least with this new brooder I built it's easier to clean frequently... And I bit the bullet and bought some peat to put in with the brooder bedding (yeah, I know, horrible for the environment, but really good brooder bedding). They are LOVING it, digging their little brains out.

Ah, YES, ok, now I see it. Agree - if that's the pancreas it looks bad. Good eye!
