Expanding the coop

So we decided that the chickens needed more floor space, so today we expanded the coop.  To do so we ended up purchasing a larger crate for Misun (our dog) and moving his old crate out next to the coop.  By lining but the doors we were able to add on additional floor space to the coop.  The food and water containers will be in the new space, with the hope that the bare floor will keep it cleaner in there and that with the smaller doorway it will be harder for them to track shavings into the food.  We then filled out the rest of the pen with shavings to give them more roaming space.

Everyone is growing well.  Not sure if there is much of a change from last week, but it is worth a peek:

Ginger.  I tried to get a back view for someone who had commented on her coloring:

Basil, who I still think is the prettiest of the bunch:

Curry, who apparently still thinks she is a hawk.  She won't sit still at all if I set her on the ground (learned that the hard way), but she will perch momentarily on your hand:

 Paprika.  The color difference between her and Curry is more prominent now:

Daffy.  Daffy still hates to be held and clawed me up pretty good earlier this week.  I attempted pics out of the coop but he tried to run every time I took my hand off of him.  You can't really see it in the picture, but some of the feathers on his back have a green sheen to them in the light:

Aflac.  He was more interested in exploring than in taking a picture.  He will allow you to hold him if you keep him cradled, though he will shout in your ear the entire time:

 

And the family dog, Misun.  He was not at all pleased with all the attention the birds were getting.
