Title: new coop
Post by: cheekychick22 on June 30, 2012, 21:51

My new coop is finally finished today all have moved in including to new ones. not let broody in yet she us a little upset with me at the moment as i have taken some of her chicks away as they were boys and had to have them culled. needed to do it now as i would have changed my mind and got into troubl.

Put her in tomorrow if she is a little calmer which hopefully after a good night sleep she will beplus hopefully bring her down the pecking order a little as she is so protective of the chicks which is good but she scoulding wayto much and causeing unrest in the camp.

I hope that things have settled down in the new coop.  Don't forget we love photos.  ;)

Alls well in the coop hens happy chicks happy broody just doing hrr job and protecting her chicks but not actually pecking any more just chasing off. it is funny the coop is huge plenty of perches high and low but all of them plus mom and chicks sleep on the window sill at the front all squashed up it looks really funny and they are lf dont know how the poor chicks under mom are handling it.
