Our six little chicks are growing fast! Last week we moved them from their plastic tub in the house, out to a bigger 'brooder box' (borrowed from our kind neighbors) in one of our sheds. [Note: for 10 years we've been calling this particular shed "the chicken coop" - this is about to get real confusing since the chickens are ultimately going to live elsewhere] They've got real feathers now and we're starting to supplement their feed with veggie scraps from the kitchen. After lots of reading and planning, we are ready to start construction on their chicken house.The chicken house building site.
Brandon and Gavin worked hard getting the four corner posts in and making sure they were straight. The cement will be plenty dry by this weekend, when we hope to do the framing and get the walls up. Then come the details like the doors, vents/windows, and nest boxes.
