Here's what started it all.......
1 day old fuzzybutts!
2 EE's, 1 BA, 1 BR, 1 RIR, 2 SLW, and 1 GLW.
Chicks about 4 days old. They're growing fast, better finalize planning that coop!
Finally starting construction.
DH laying floor joists.
Chicks playing in overturned lawn cart, made a great safe outdoor play area. They're supervising construction.
Floor done! 8 feet by 7 feet. Will install vinyl too.
Framing going up.
Hey! What's going on in here and why wasn't I invited?
Ya can't stop me, I'm coming in! (Don't worry, she's not allowed near the chicks)
Window going in. (Habitat for Humanity Restore bargain)
Nest box hole and roosting litter rake-out hole. Vinyl floor installed. Back wall going up.
Rain coming the next few days, time to batten down the hatches.
DH and DS roofing (and resting) as the sun sets.
Had to get the lights out so we could work til bedtime.
Good thing we've got our gazebo to store all the construction stuff in!
Chicks are growing like crazy! Had to move them out of their rubbermaid container into a bigger cardboard box. About 2 weeks old here.
We have walls!
At 3 weeks old, we had to "add on" to the chicks box with our old dog kennel. There's a connecting door between the two. They're playing with/eating some grass clumps. Probably a few worms in there too.
Blue semi-gloss trim paint we had in the basement. Will be trimmed in light yellow. All hinges were $1 each, brand new, at Habitat for Humanity Restore (what a bargain, those things are expensive!)
4 week olds enjoying some broccoli from our garden. I can't believe how big they've gotten! (and how big a mess they make too
) Gotta get that coop done!
More to come.....
