They are just adorable! I wish I was ready for mine, but I will have so much fun watching Bob and friends grow until I can get my own fuzzy babies!!

How's it working out with the brooders? I keep wondering how fast they grow and what the situation is like toward their end of the time in the brooder, when they are almost large enough to go to the coop. and how do you know when they are ready to move to the coop? Maybe it is when **you** are ready to move them to the coop?

It's working out great so far. They still have plenty of room in there and we've had no problems with pecking or anything. We've kept the room vacuumed and the pine shavings changed, so the dust and the smell hasn't been a problem at all yet. We don't mind the peeps either. I plan on keeping track of them with pics once a week, so you'll be able to have an idea of how quickly they grow. Usually, you watch for them to start feathering out before you move them out. Since we have so many though, we might have to do it a little sooner than that, but since these guys will have a coop all to themselves, we will be able to put lights out for them and not worry about the bigger chickens picking on them.

Last year when we had our first set of chickens, we weren't as prepared and had to keep rigging up stuff for them while we built their coop, so this year should be better since we already have a plan and kind of know what to expect.

Towards the end, it does become alot more work cleaning up after them, so we'll see how it goes, and I'll keep you guys posted
