Getting Ready for "Babies" (pictures)

This is a repost because I'd posted the previous one "private" by mistake.

Here is the outdoor brooder Marcel and I made yesterday in preparation for the new flock.  It looks a little bit like an emergency HAZMAT facility in miniature - don't you think?  It's pieced together, but we're proud that - aside from the new feed dish - all was done with what we had on hand. (including the heat lamp hood which came from aluminum foil....hehe).

The important thing is that it works...... ;-)

Rhodies in the House! (pictures)

At 7am this morning (before Marcel even left to go down south) - the post office called announcing the arrival of the new flock.
I kissed Marcel goodbye - jumped into my jeans - and headed to pick up my package of peeps!

I ordered 25 but there were only 24 in the box.  Also, one came with an injured leg which means I have to put him down or give him his own little apartment so he can heal without being pecked to death my his siblings.

Happy Camper this morning! :-)
