Setting MORE eggs/Kelly perfected his crow/stirring things up

Well It's been a while since I wrote in this journal OR my regular journal.  Have to get a little better at that.  I have some pictures to share from last week. I added three of the middle girls in with the big girls.  Introduced them through a cage for the first week and then tried letting them out just yesterday.  It wasn't as bad as I had thought but they didn't seem to be letting up by the end of the day so the last two nights I put them back in their kennel for safe keeping for the  night.  May do that one more night.  Today was the first day I let them out for the entire day with the big girls and all seems ok. No blood shed but still pecking.  As soon as the little girls get acclimated I will do the same with the two big hens I have.   I want to get them in the big hen house so I will have an extra brooder to use for the NEW eggs I jsut set!  Kelly sent me more silver laced polish and a member of a forum i'm on sent some blue/black/splash silkies!  So I have 15 eggs total.  I am hoping for 2 of each breed!  Day number one was yesterday...set the silkies 14 hours before I set the polish so they won't be to far off from each other. 

We have decided to build another coop...just a small one for the bantams we have.  They will have a small coop with a small run.  But I will have about 8 bantam hens in there.  They won't have electricity or a heat lamp but on real cold nights I can always bring them into the big house with a heat lamp if I need to.  OR I could run an extention cord out with a heat lamp.  Our thoughts are that it will be well insulated and smaller so they should throw off enough heat to keep it wam enough for them?  I hope!  Well here are some pictures I wanted to share from the past week....Kelly, the phoenix is UNDER the greyish one! LOL 



The Golden PhoenixI hatced out from Kelly



Here is the polish BCW she/he is so cute!  I can't wait to see that crest feather out...it's starting to now.  I have more pictures that I will share later...have to go check on the little girls in the run to make sure no one is pecking on them to badly.  Trying to let them work out their pecking order but it's hard!
