    Sapphire Gem Olive Eggers

    We get a pinkish-brown egg from our Sapphire Olive Eggers...we got them from Tractor Supply in April. Like you, disappointed as we wanted olive-colored eggs.

    Roosts for our new coop

    Hi Penny! I blocked off the nesting boxes until they get old enough to start laying 😎. Hubby built a temporary roost today, the chicks are loving it already! I'm thinking of putting a roost 12" from the wall, a foot or so above the nesting boxes. Will that be far enough away to avoid them...

    Roosts for our new coop

    I thought about that! Hubby didn't share his plans before building and didn't think about interior needs 😭. I love it, but it needs tweaking 😂

    We got Sapphire Olive Eggers, Olive Eggers, Welsummers, Columbian Wyandots, and Easter Eggers 😂. We believe we have 8 hens out of the 15 😳. Sadly, no roosters allowed in our small town limits.

    Roosts for our new coop

    Newby here! My hubby built an adorable coop but I can't decide on where to put the roosts! 6' x 7' with nesting boxes opposite the main door (he made 3 about 16" x 16" which I'll be modifying to make 12" x 12"). I want stadium roosts but not at the windows (I hate washing windows 😂). Hubby...

    Hi! Yes, I saw it was an old thread, still great info! We're thinking Rhode Island Reds and Americana's. We're starting off with 6...we'll see how quickly it grows 😂

    Montana Gal here! I know, wrong state 😜, but your winters are similar to ours so I'm excited to see the ideas that come out of this thread! We're about to build a coop and join the world of chicken parenting! So excited!
