TOO Homesteading

I got a call earlier from a guy I played ball with in high school. He works for USPS in Athens. He said my chicks were there and he'd save them a day in transit if I wanted to meet him this evening, so of course I took him up on it. It saved us 24 hours and probably prevented any from dying in transit. The runt was clearly cold when I got them home, so he did us a real solid by reaching out.

I stopped to check this bad boy out today thinking I might buy one rather than build one since I want them in a different location this time. Pretty sweet setup, but I guessed $5K and was only off $300. I'll stick with my original plan to build a new coop in the barn, then build a new run in the spring. But if money were no object, this would be a nice purchase.

2wk quarantine was up earlier this week, put all 9 new ones in after dark when the 9 OGs were on their roost.1st night they slept on the floor but over next few nights more and more started squeezing in on roosts. They're adjusting well and starting to function like a flock.
