Moving day!

The older chicks are moving out to the hen house. They were in need of more space and the house was done well enough to move them in. The heat lamp will keep them warm and we have covered the inside vents to keep the temp at 70 degrees now that our nights are dropping into the 40s we don't want them getting chilled. As you can see from the picture the house can along pretty well. Ashley and I spent a weekend finishing it. The front window is recycled as is all the cedar trim. The lower front door opens to for collecting eggs. The window tilts open for additional ventilation. The little door on the lets side will give the girls access to the hen yard.
