Chicks in the Run

The baby chickens are in the run today and already enjoying the worms, ants and bugs.  Since it is still cold here at night, we have put the lamp into their coop until they are all fully feathered. Picked up some standard water and feeder containers that we can hang in the run for now and the larger chicks have already figured out the ramp. The smaller chicks are less certain so we may need to get into the run to get them into the coop at night. For now, I think the finished coop will work and the next few projects will involve putting wheels onto the thing and getting some easier feeder and waterer situation set up.
