It has been 30 years since I have had the pleasure of keeping chickens. Now that I am on an off grid permaculture homestead I want to have chickens again! We have an outbuilding we want to convert into a chicken coop. There is a very large cedar tree next to it. Is that going to be a problem for the chickens? any toxicity issues etc? I am hoping it will create some much needed shade in the hot summer. Thanks... I am so excited!!!

I like everything about it except how it looks right now. I know it lays decently. It is a great part of my great waterfowl flock. -
First, watching a runner duck run is awesome. They can find their own food. They aren't like pekins in water. Mine haven't started laying but I heard their decent. -
Its not as fat and slow as a pekin, but its not frail either. I want a mallard but I don't want a flying bird. The rouen is great for that. -
They are my calmest birds and are easiest to catch. They eat less than Pekins. I heard they also lay well, but mine are younger. -
they are my favorite duck breed ever. i have heard they lay well, but i didn't list that because mine haven't started yet.
