We've been raising these birds for years. Aside from a tendency to heat intolerance, the biggest downside to this breed is the HUGE amount of poop they produce - think turds the size of golf...

These birds have been the foundation of our flock. They have stood up to the arid Colorado weather here which means cold winters, hot summers and not much rain so no many plants or bugs. Very...

That is such a nicely designed coop! I also love those feed troughs and I'm going to try to find something like that. It sure could save on feed if it prevents them from scratching the feed out and getting the feed dirty.

I'm sorry it has taken me so long to respond. I purchased the rollout nests from Meyer Hatchery in Polk, OH. They had the best price I could find although they are not cheap. For the 10 hole it came to 224.00 including freight. The feeders came from Rural King which is a chain similar to Tractor Supply. They do have a website. The feeders are only 4.00 each. They are 36" long. I also have a pair that are 18" that I use in the brooder.

I don't have my run finished yet. I have the fence and need to get the posts. It will be whatever a 100' roll of fence will make. They will also free range a lot of the time but we have lots of critters so we have to be careful letting them roam.

Whoa! Showed my boyfriend (after he spent a week building a coop for my new chickies) and he said, "Wow, on the right side, is that a big screen TV?" big_smile Your chicks are getting The Treatment!! And don't they all deserve the best we can give 'em? I'm sure they'll dig it!
