Farm work day
Mar. 6th, 2010 08:06 pmWe've been crazy busy here today -
I cleaned off the back porch and moved the larger Metroshelving into the blue shed. The wood shelving unit is now on the back porch holding our yard shoes. We use the shelves for holding food, coolers, etc. when we BBQ in the summer, so they are useful.
I moved the brooder chicks into the blue shed coop, then Scarlet to the old hutch coop where Ruby was already asleep. I hooked up an LED sensor nightlight in there to keep the gals company. Scarlet didn't seem too interested in taking care of the chicks, but then she didn't attack them either which is a good sign. There's now two heat lamps out there to keep the chicks warm, which should be fine. It's 44F out there right now and it's almost 70F where they are in the coop.
( A good littany )
