Henhouse nears completion

Today Matthew and I did quite a bit of work on the hen house. We finished today by caulking some of the seams to help with weather-proofing the unit. We are now ready for paint and then some hardware on the doors and windows, install the roof and we'll be all done. Next project will be to build an enclosed run area that will be safe from predators. Chicks should arrive on Feb 12. They will be inside the house in a brooder until they are 6 to 8 weeks old.
