The chicks are over a month old. They have most of their feathers and are getting to big for the stock tank. So we are going to rip some 2x4's to make some perches for them. Then later this evening we are going to move them out to their new coop. Plus now I can get rid of the bad smells in my tack room. I'll get some pics later.
I also put a frame around my farm bell. I need to get a little more dirt in it to fill it. Then I can go get some perennials to plant in it. 17 more days and I start my first vacation in at least 2yrs!!!  |

What kind of a sort is that. They look different then ours. Those are for meat I guess?

They are fun to watch. I find a worm every now and then and throw it into them and it's funny to watch one get it and run with it. While the others are chasing it. They started pecking at your hand when you put it down. Especially your rings and watch. Checked on them awhile ago and they seem happy in the new coop. I still have the light for them to stay warm if they opt to. But I don't think they will need it much longer.
