Our friend Fjud spent his Sunday building our chicks a bigger brooder. Because we got the chicks so late in the season and because winter here is so brutal, we are going to have to keep these babies inside a bit longer than we have when we've gotten them before, in the spring or early summer. Not wanting them to get crowded, we proposed a sort of inside coop/brooder to our construction-savvy friend. He was up to the challenge.
This is what former chicks and the newbies have resided in....
Now, check out their new digs....

| Easy access to allow chicks out to play. This will be useful for introductions to the big hens, too. |

We couldn't be happier with the results. This is a project that will benefit us for all future poultry endeavors. Thanks, Fjud!
