Wait until you hear all the plans I have for coops and brooders. I am going to replace the current brooders with the same type I have in the insulated room in the barn. Forgot to show you that. It is empty right now, needs a serious cleaning after winter. Chicken City is going to get new coops with a central area for youngsters to run loose. Plan to make the runs high enough no varmints will jump over and into the courtyard. Jim, you have all summer off to go visiting, must be someone in your neck of the woods. Too bad you live so far north. We would love to meet you.
Tomorrow I want to try and get the empty coop cleaned out to put my FBCM into, they are too big to be in the barn pens. Someday they will start laying!
