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...

Acquired these two girls from someone who wasn't supposed to have them in the city. They were still pullets. They lay one egg every other day between the two of them. Have not noted them to be...

I wasn't sure I'd like them but have found them to be attractive and friendly so far. Hardy robust little birds.

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.

Oh my, I dropped the ball on replying. I have 4 black Minorcas, 2 Buff Orpingtons (one died the next day), 3 Cornish game hens, 2 Brown Leghorns and 2 Brown Leghorn roosters.

First I had them in a cattle water trough and that got a little crowded, then we put them in a coop outside that we had built years ago for baby chicks. I really need to get a house built for them. I'm trying to decide between a 12x8 saltbox shed at Lowe's or the Just Right coop that I saw on this site.
