My 5 chickies in Ontario, Canada

[atclarkson]

Hey all. I've asked a few questions, but now it's my turn to show off!
I've got 5 ISA browns, born Sept 2.


First Brooder:


That got small quick... child's wading pool:




First meeting... noms?


Coop Building...


Done! Coop is 4x5 feet, giving each of them 4 sq ft. Once the bottom is opened that will double.



Final Feeder- Holds a good few days of feed and not messy so far. They seem to really like it (And I don't have to clean it 3 times a day!)


Put the other pipe so they'd stop climbing over it... watching to make sure no one gets stuck!


And the girls today!




Plans from here on in are a nesting box inside (Was going to do outside, but this will be easier), raising the roost, chicken nipple waterers (they are sitting on my desk atm) and next summer fencing in the bottom with a ramp to get down to it, and then they will have some space to run outside as well.

I built it almost entirely from wood sourced on Kijiji!

TY TY!

New feeder rocks, no poop or shavings in it, and I don't expect to have to fill it more than once a week!

They are growing up and you've done a great job with your set up.

Your coop looks great! Is the floor part of a ping pong table?

Fab coop, chickies look very happy in there

I am pretty sure it was a ping pong table, good eye! It came to me as one piece with legs like a folding table, and it worked perfect I built around it.

They are starting to look like hens now, lots of brown but of course no combs yet
