I've got 30, day-old chicks ordered to arrive Sept 23rd, and I've got to get this coop done.

For the first few weeks they will be in the spare bedroom, as they will have to have constant monitoring and heat/food/water.

Here's the album of some pixs I had my grand daughter take today. On it you'll see me and my stepson, my wife and g-daughter.

The other guy whose sitting down is just the property caretaker, and he has the mental capacity of a 6-year old, so we only have him help lift and 'go-for' things.

Here's one just of me for recognition for youse guys:: lh6.ggpht.com

The weather's starting to change for Fall, although that doesn't happen here until Sept 22nd. We will more than likely get a lot of snow this year (sure!) and I've got to insulate and heat this coop for them until at least April.

1135721 2010-09-09 00:48:00 Got a learner's Permit - or is that my marriage license? I forget!

Actually, since our saws run on 117 VAC, we don't need permits as they are safe enough for a cave man to use.

1135722 2010-09-09 00:53:00 I ordered 10 each of Jersey Giants, 10-Sex-Links or Araucanas, and 10 Black Australorps.

These will be HERD #1, and I usually run three herds for even egg laying schedules and meat.

1135726 2010-09-09 01:33:00 I helped a mate build a chicken coop the other day, 4m x 4m. When we finished, his wife said "oh... can you make it 4m by 6m?"


He said ok.
