Texas

[Mr King]

South Texas last night thunder storm and heavy rain and wind was bad. Consequences: like 18 baby chicks died leghorns, ameraucanas, delawares, rhode island, barred rocks.

. Good think we rescue the rest, like 44 more less. Hope theyre doing good now.

Welcome to BYC Sqwidy! Your chicks are so cute! I would like an olive egger and maran eventually. All I have at this moment are rhode island reds and leghorns. I am fairly new as well. My babies are 12 weeks old and they do grow quickly! I love them and I am so anxious for our first eggs!

Stella I am so happy to hear you have graduated! Hooray Congratulations!

Zukeypur your coop is adorable and love your babies! Very cute!

All the information and posts are so great!

Thaaaanks!

Here is a picture of my coop! I went from being close to tears because I couldn't use a circular saw to building a coop! I am quite a bit over budget, and I am planning on painting it dark gray, because I'm not too crazy about the current color.

And here are the inhabitants. They are staying in the coop in a Rubbermaid, and enjoyed the warm weekend playing in the run with my 5 year old.

Looks like you did a wonderful job on the coop. If I wasn't able to free range I would want something like what you built.

Thanks for the compliments! I'll be sure to post a pic after it's completely painted. I got some chacoal gray paint for the siding, and i'm planning on eventually painting the door and the nesting box orange. I am waiting for Ace hardware to have their free quart of paint special again.

Flood. I wasn't ready for that much water and the hens always make like a nest type on the floor so it fill up with water first i put them inside the house this morning (the ones that survive ) they're doing well
