The chicks are feathering out fast and will be much happier out in the grass I think.  The plans I purchased are pretty good, I just wish I followed them with a little more attention to detail.  A couple of notable screw-ups but the basic structure is finished and I was able to move it down to the barn to avoid the coming rain.  Mom and Dad came out Sunday and helped with the assembly, good to get the old folks our from in front of the TV and into the fresh air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped
