You are making a lot of progress and everything looks great. We have had many losses but it never to gets easier to have any.
Just a suggestion but a friend of ours used rebar pretty much like it looks like you are for the shelter. He had a deal where a couple of ewes were head butting and one of the ewes got impaled on the rebar.

Here they will not let anyone handle the chicks anymore. Only store employees...

Same here, and it's hard to even see into the tubs because they put them inside one of those stupid dog kennels.

Thanks for the warning. I don't need another loss due to some freak accident.

No, not soon. Not getting chickens here. I'm looking for a farm, no idea how long that will take, hopefully not too long. Dogs and sheep are it for this location.OMG.....
Guess that grandma had better get some chicks pretty soon.....
I had the incubator set once and the girls came for the weekend. The chicks were hatching out, the girls were enthralled, the timing was perfect. They love to go gather the eggs and see the chickens, but none here now. I think I'll have to get a horse first. The 5 year old is taking riding lessons. She called and wanted me to send her a saddle in the mail. I told her that I had a kid saddle and would keep it for her until she came to visit. It needs saddle soap, neatsfoot oil and a good work over. What better way to teach her how to care for it? Also have a saddle stand, pink saddle pad, girt and headstall and reins. I can fix her up! I can picture her insisting that the cowboy giving her lessons, use HER saddle!

And then you will flip it up on a fence brace so she can practice
