Love all the pictures.
Do other people have problems, I don't know if you really want to call it a problem, with other pets or animals entering the chicken coop? Our big chickens are in a coop in the corner of the barn that boarders the corral. On a few occasions we have gone to let the chickens out in the morning only to discover a calf that got locked in the coop the night before. One day while i was cleaning the coop I had to keep shewing a cow out of the coop. The cats like to be in the coop to. I think the cats have been locked in the coop at night too - maybe I need a light in the coop. My dog follows me to the coops and sits with his nose to the screen so he can see the chicks. The chicks have been known to peck his nose.
I removed 4 eggs from the bator tonight in preparation for lockdown tomorrow. I started with 44, took two out, now 4 I'm down to 38 for lockdown tomorrow. We got to see some of them move.
