Aww, so cute!

i am really impressed with the babies from both hatcheries, although i lost one in shipping from mpc. McMurrays seem stronger, much fiestier, but MPC babies are super sweet, and are just gorgeous. I love them all

Here is the run my hubby and daughter built for my little ones. I had to place a cloth on it for shade because it got too hot and they all went back into the coop.


Here's the door from their coop to their run that hubby built today.


Here's the roosts he built today. Didn't take them long to figure this out!

Well be moving our into stall in a couple of weeks..they are getting huge!!:yiipchick

The stall turned into a chicken coop with an attached run is the best thing ever!!! My hubby is so great for building all of this stuff. He'll be starting on another stall soon. That will house the juvenile birds with a bigger run. Then he's turning the goat stall into a coop for about 60 or so birds. Can't wait!!!!

I'm just worried about predators during the day have u moved them in yet?

They've been in the brooder (I still have to finish painting the hand prints to look like chicks) since day one. They've been allowed out into the coop (stall) and run for the last few days. I'm not worried about predators during the day. Our neighbors right next door are outside all day and I let the dogs out to run around with the chickens. At night the babies get locked back in the brooder and the adult chickens get locked in their coop.
