    Arucana, Americauna, EE

    28 of 31 of my birds are purebred EE's and I wouldn't trade um for anything. I think of them as being the cats of the chicken world, intelligent and independent.

    These work really well for an "after brooder" This 3'x6'x6' coop has a 3'x6' chickenwire run below a 3'x3'x3' secure roost area. Roost area is accessed by a ramp that can be raised at night. I can add nesting boxes, wheels, lights, jacuzzi, or anything else for additional cost. Other sizes...

    Silkie Problems ?

    Thank you both for the advice. They will have their own coop with a reserved spot in the yard. I have no doubt that Charlotte will pamper these birds beyond belief. She actually painted the toenails on one of my EE's,
