Hey i had four chickens lost them to a pit bull and are buliding a dog proof coop it can hold 25 chickens what are some good breeds for egg laying i live in Georgia

These are some pics of the coop first is looking from the roof soon it will have a tin roof second is looking at it its 10x10x6 and i will put tin around the sides and tin all the back panel thats wher i plan on putting the nesting boxes and the floor is ply wood 3/4 tell me what you think

So when do you need a rooster and why would you need one

No not fully still have plenty of vent room only the back wall would have tin to the roof thats were the nesting boxs will go every where else is wide open but about 3 feet from the floor up all the wal around on the other 3 walls to protect them

Wasn't really i thought i would just let them out when i could watch them if i just had them in a coop most of the time what is a good number of chickens i can have?
