Readying the hen cave for new occupants

So the hens don't walk in their pan (and poop in their pan), I got a covered feeder.  It says the pointy top keeps them from deciding to sit on the lid, and this feeder holds about 16 pounds of chicken feed, so you don't have to refill their dish nearly so often.  I have a waterer too, which has made an appearance in other pictures.

I've already named the new hens I don't even have yet.  Mae and Lena.  Hope Mae and Lena like red.  This feeder is really red.

This is essentially what Lena and Mae will look like.  I think they are Red Sex-link chickens, also known as Red Star chickens.  I'm not 100% certain on that, but from my combing chick lit, that's my best guess.
