We have built the coop and, if the rain will ever stop, it will be painted to match the house. (It is very important to have an aesthetically pleasing coop if you can see it from your house!)
Heat is essential for a chick. That wouldn't be a big deal if not for the lack of electricity at the coop site. Now I have a conduit running 100' across my yard with a very long extension cord in it. Eureka! - we have heat.
Today, I am going to the Feed Store. On my list: pine shavings, larger waterer and feeder.
There is one source that I love for information: www.backyard chickens.com. I find out pretty much everything I need from that site and my "Chickens for Dummies" book.
So, I'm off to buy paint for the coop and my list of supplies. It's either get the coop ready or continue cleaning their brooder tank in my son's bathroom.
Chicken coop here we come!
