Well, today is Sunday, and we've put a temporary end on the big henhouse to get some more chicks moved into their new abode, as they seem to grow before our eyes, and everytime I move some over, the space left seems to fill very quickly!!!!

We've removed their infra red lights, but have some of the fireglow bulbs in, just in case we get a cold snap.

Tomorrow we start on the walls of the extension, as the concrete base dried out very nicely, despite the inclement weather of the past few days!

Hubby is having to put some ballast inside the new auto drinkers as the chicks go haring around the new shed and keep knocking the drinkers, and all the clean shavings were wet, so hopefully that'll stop once the other drinkers are ballasted.  We tried one today, and it seems okay at the moment, and I've dug out all the wet stuff and put nice clean dry shavings in there.  they also now have a section of shed with no feeders or drinkers in so they can run around there as much as they want!

I found a dead chick in the small brooder shed today, it looked like it had been 'dust' bathing and the others had kept treading on it and it smothered.  Poor little thing.  But with a few more of them in the big shed, at least they have more room now.  I really don't want to lose anymore!!!

I must remember to take my scales out tomorrow and weigh them.  I haven't done it for over a week.

Finally got around to weighing some of them today, 6th November, and they are between 700gms and 825gms, so they are still on target!!!!!
