Chickens take 2

So Monday night my bad bad doggies, in their curiosity ended up knocking the roof off of our dog-house sized interim chicken coop that I moved the chicks into on Saturday afternoon. And their doggie instincts kicked in...killing all 8 of my 5 week old buff Brahmas.





Look at these faces though! Could you stay mad forever? Nah! Me either! 


The poor babies! :(

Having already spent more than $150 on lumber to build a new coop, we decided to go back to the Tractor Supply store for more chicks. They had just received a new shipment of chicks, but no more Brahmas. :(
So this time we picked out some "red pullets" they look to be no more than maybe 5 days old to me. The sign said they could be either Rhode Island Red or New Hampshire Red chicks.
This time around the interim coop is NOT going to be used & they will stay inside until the new (dog-proof) coop is ready.
