The peeps (chicks) are getting big...I've had to separate them and keep the bigger ones in a separate crate as they were ganging up on the smaller chicks...it was definitely time for a new home....
TaaDaaaa....all finished!
Chicken wire is up...latches are installed, roof vent is attached with netting underneath to keep the critters out and the top half ventilated! It's ready for the chicks!
Chicks are so loving it and Jake (aka: Mother Hen) is making sure everything is A-Okay!
Michael wanted to add a few finishing touches when he got home tonight...lol!
He had a blast painting it!
Sigh...I so liked the white crisp and clean look but we had a good time and hopefully made a memory he won't soon forget!! He said the chicks love the bright colors, lol...
Now I just hope the chicks thrive and no critters (snakes) come around!! I also can't wait until the chicks learn to go up in the top half and roost on their own...it was not easy getting them this evening and putting them up on top, lol...Fred finally felt sorry for me and came out to help. He lifted the coop up while I took a butterfly net and caught the little darl'ins...They are all settled for the night and tucked in tight...
