The upside is that now when we come and put our hands in the brooder, the chicks all come running and peeping over. It's very adorable - and it makes catching them much easier. =) (sorry for the color - it's the heat lamp!)
Jeremy has been working away on the coop as you can see. He's got the roof up (and it started snowing right after he got this up) and he got a light in the hen house and some insulation in.
(the roof is nearly done! notice the frozen lake of a sidewalk. I keep trying to chip out the ice when it warms up, but it's usually quite treacherous walking back and forth from the garage to the coop.)
(this is a detail showing the underside of the roof and the inside of the hen house where you can see the can light.)

In this weather, have you given any consideration to crawling in there with the chicks? That heat lamp looks very inviting!
The heat lamp is actually a bit too hot for me. I've nearly burned myself a couple times when I've had my hand in there feeding the chicks (or just letting them walk all over me). It's keeping around 90 degrees, which is just too hot for someone from the northwest. =)
