Definitely! Lol

This batch of hatches, we ended up with 9 full buff Brahmas and 8 egger/Brahma crosses, and 1 light/buff Brahma. Hubby wants to keep a couple pullets, and the rest will be food.

Our chicks so far! And I have a sneaky suspicion on the full buff Brahmas and their coloring...we shall see. Lol

Expansion for meaties has begun. It's a bit slow and rain is expected all day but we're halfway.

Not quite done. Not perfect either but functional

Got them moved over last night. We handed them through the open panel lol

Need to get a tarp for the partial side to tuck under other tarp but it's good for now. Gonna get some black paint for the far side since only door is inside main coop
