Mine come in on 4/26 too! And I was just giving the snow dirty looks for the same reason (so much work to be done)...I really need the snow, rain and ice to stop for a week so I can rent a skid steer and get the foundation in so I can start construction.15 chicks arrive 4/26!!! My Livingroom looks like a mix of lumber yard and Pet Store. My daughters are considering an intervention for me.
The Dining room table makes a great workbench.
It just started to Hail.... Record snow fall last week finally melted....
I'm going to go at it hard in April and just not let myself fret about the weather for the next few weeks! Then I figure, I have the indoor brooder time for any finishing touches, lol.
ooo, cool. So many pretty chickens. Can't wait to see your follow up.
So hard to just have a few. We will need to do a new coop, there just isn't room to expand where this one is. We have been so lucky with no critters getting in, but soo much work to dig down deep to keep them from getting under. How do you expand yours?Chicks... little peeping balls of fluff...
I really want more chicks. My girls will be 2 and 3 years old this spring/summer. I have come to dislike store bought eggs.
I need to work on DH to enlarge the coop first... Yeah, if I go by the standard of 4sf in the coop and 10 sf in the run suggestion, I have have room for 4 more birds as it is right now. But I want a bigger coop so that I can make it easier/better for everyone, me included.
But chicks... oh, my...
