Chicken Fever

Over the last few days we've had spring rains that have slowed our coop progress.  It has not slowed the chickens growing or multiplying.  I was warned chicken fever is very contagious!  We've purchased an incubator and have 12 Standard Cochin eggs arriving Tuesday!  I am so excite to experience hatching eggs and finally getting Cochins!  It should take 21 days total to hatch if all goes well.  Hubby is really getting into the chickens as well even though he won't admit it.  He went to the store and purchased live worms for them and still has his favorite, BB!
Electricity..eeeelectricity!

I screwed the nesting boxes together!


All doors are built.  Siding/insulation and roof to be completed next...

Mrs. Cody, Gertie and Bertie maturing but much slower than the Blues, BB and Etta.  


BB and Etta....
BB is probably looking like the overall boss lady and Etta's the opposite is very laid back.



The new incubator.  
This weekend I will be installing a fan on it and getting it tested and ready for Tuesday's eggs!
