Soon we will have 25 balls of fuzz running around. Of course when we ordered the new chicks there was nothing ready. The plan was to convert Beauty, our dog's old shed onto a brooder coop. This was started last week with the impression "it shouldn't take that long" .

If there is one thing we have learned while living here it is that it always takes longer than we think it will. So the brooder coop isn't quite finished and we are desperately trying to get it finished. It will be done in time for chicks, the work done today assures that. At least we know our chicks will be warm and happy.
