Chicks are just too cute! I know seeing mine out here running with the Silkies was fascinating to her. Now she can enjoy her own!

I love how you did these duck coops! Such a great idea using shipping crates. I may have to steal this idea for some bantam coops I'm planning on building

Yep WestKnollAmy...your chicks running in and out of the fencing chasing whatever bug they saw was amazing and sooo cute! Dixiebeast started out with chicks so she has experienced them firsthand. She inspired me and then I had 4 old hens and one old Roo dropped off in my back field to free range and they hung around! and....it was love at first crow...LOL Now one of those ole' hens (only 2 lay sporatically) have hatched 4 chicks and I AM amazed! All I can say is "It's on now!!!" Just trying to figure out how to fence/wire/aviary net my back field? LOLOL I couldn't be as far as I am now without Dixiebeast and her DH help! THANKS!!!!!!! John...got a minute??? LOL
