Happy, slightly confused chicks... enjoy a treat of some chick starter.
And we are proud to say that we didn't buy any of the materials that we used. They were all parts from the previous coop plus stuff found in the yard and house. We have 2 nests with straw/leaves, and then 2 other nest with a top that have grass clippings in them. Going to see which the hens like the best, since they are used to laying in the yard. We finished this in about 6 hours, not too bad since we didn't get to prepping it all like we should have before hand. But, our chicks are happy and safe!!!!
