Nope

they are so cute you should get some girls and breed them.

My 4 week old chicks started causing a dust problem in the house so I moved them into a new brooder out in the shop. I just got the screws I need to build them a run outdoors, so I need to start that project.

The brooder is portable, my utility trailer and a rabbit cage. The rabbit pellet feeder works well for chicks. It's a lot cooler in the shop so it should get them hardened off for the move outdoors. I gave them radiant heat to sleep under.

we had some nice watering rain. but storms are in forecast for the next couple of days. I will be weeding and feeding only and will dig a bit in front of my 2 coops that got flooded a bit with the previous storm.

My mom told me to dig a dry well. I had no idea what she was talking about so I asked and if you dig a hole about 4 ft deep and fill it with gravel and then cover it with dirt it helps with flooding. I haven't done it yet but I plan on getting it done hopefully next spring.

Tomorrow my husband and our son in law are going to look for jobs so I am going to get started on decorating for Christmas. Hopefully I can get enough done and then when they get back I can get them to help me finish it.
