So, the chicks will be 3 months on the 25th of this month, that means that it is time to move them outside full time. I guess that means that I have to get going on the construction of their new home. They lived in my room for a month (I know, a true crazy country girl that keeps chicks in her room for a month. This isn't the first time I have shared my room with chicks). ;) They were then move into a bigger brooder that was kept in the garage (they were put outside in my outdoor ferret pen during the day and slept in the garage at night), and now it is time for them to graduate into a big chicken pen.
I can't believe they went from this:

It appears that I don't have a picture of Ambrose. Hmm, I am going to have to fix that. Anyways, I kind of got off topic there, the point is that chicks grow way too fast.
I finally started on the chicken house and pen on Thursday. I had bought most of the materials a couple of weeks ago and just never got around to making the pen. Here are some pictures of my progress thus far.

This is the first days work. I got a whole lot more done today, but this post is getting a little overloaded with pictures, so, I will post the rest of the progress tomorrow (since it finally actually looks like a chicken coop now).
I do have one more thing to share. While I was busy working on this project, one of my little ferrets, Obi to be exact, found a way to squeeze through my cracked open window and tear a lovely little hole in my screen. My mom heard a scratching noise coming from the roof, looked up, and there is little Obi sitting on the roof. He is fine, didn't hurt himself at all. It is just amazing how one so small can get himself into all sorts of trouble. :)

Anyhow, I hope that I have not overloaded this post too much, and hopefully you enjoyed it. I am now just finishing up watching the first Pirates of the Caribbean and then I am off to bed. See you all later!
