Welcome! Just wait until their personalities start shining through.

I raise the water up on a block so they have to reach over to drink to keep stuff out. Poop and bedding seems to get everywhere. Just wait until they start digging.

Hi! Chicken nipples are AMAZING! So much easier in keeping the water clean. Very thankful to Penny for helping with them. My babies have adjusted to their coop. I've still some work to do on it, but they are so much happier with more space. Can't wait to get the run set up so the can actually get out in the grass!!! Right now, I'm stranded at home, as my truck is dead. Will probably need to have it towed as it's not charging at all.

I tried to jump it last night. Sat connected for about 45 min. Nothing. Bought a charger today, hooked up for over an hour. NOTHING! Argh....

Ugh. Ok. I'll hook it back up and let it charge all night. It's safe to do that??? I'm so paranoid...
