    Breed?

    Thanks for the reply. We have a solid black hen as well, since all 3 come together I figured they were a cross of some kind. They lay regularly so I’m not complaining just curious.

    Breed?

    We have a couple of smaller hens that lay smaller white eggs regularly. Any idea on the breed?

    Yes, especially with the prices of lumber now. Everything but the wire, post, headers and the back wall is new plywood as I was going to add doors for the nesting boxes but my wife enjoys going inside to check on the chickens as well so no doors as of yet.

    Our new coop!

    So here’s our new coop(121sq.ft.) we completed last week. Most of the material is reclaimed from a coop I helped my grandpa build over 20yrs. ago including the door and hinges. Currently working on our 500sq. foot run that will be used if we’re planning on being gone for a day or so. Also a few...
