some appear to grow faster than others. must be strain related. i love the furry feet.

here are the new coop pics, it got mostly finished today we still have some work to do but if it stays over 55ish tonight i will put them in tomarrow, once they rae in it will stay about 10 warmer than that. I like it so much i think this may be my bantam coop and we will build a larger coop for the bigger chickens. Once we get better weather this will just pick up and move wherever we want it my hubby did a good job we will also put in a window eventualy cant wait for spring!!!!

they spent their first night outside last night it was about 64 in the coop at 3am, i do have two heat lamps going. They seemed fine and i put a baby monitor put in the coop so i can hear whats going on. I think they like the new space and my house is now getting an overhall i was up dusting till 3 this mornin and all i gat done was the kitchen, i should take pics of the dust but i wont its gross. Love them but glad they like it in the new coop
