    Breed Question

    Thanks! Yes, sorry, I do the know the EE are mutts, grew up with a bunch and they were fun, silly chickens! And glad they are pullets. Thank you very much! I am really excited to see when they start laying. We all enjoyed the colorful eggs, so I'm hoping they do =)

    Built nesting boxes - they lay on floor!

    I actually have two roos but am actually returning them on Sunday because they are starting to fight and I do not want to deal with bloody fights!! It's a shame but I keep hearing nightmare stories about them. Mine are fine with me right now, but I'm still a newbie and worried about the risk.
