Running amok

Remember those cute little balls of fluff that we got about 3.5 weeks ago?  Well, this is what they look like now.

Notice where the draft shield is?  Yeah, the little monsters have started taking it down and running wild through our sun room.  The water jugs were a failed attempt at reinforcing the barrier.  I think I need to borrow one of my mom's Border Collies to get them all back under control.  But the good news is that all 25 are still with us and growing like weeds.

You can see the new watering system in the background.  Joe built a nipple watering system for them after they started knocking their regular waterer around and jamming it with sawdust.  It took very little to get them used to it and weaned over.  So between the new water system and the 11 pound feeder in the middle, I can take care of them in the morning and be done for the day.

Of course, that doesn't include any of our attempts at getting them back into their area and not pooping all over the sun room.  We're going to have to do some serious carpet cleaning after they move out.  And don't get me started on the amount of dust they generate!  I'm going to have to move my seedlings away from them so they have a chance of growing.  The coops are well started, we're just waiting for the snow to melt so we can get them outside.  Come on, spring!
