I just found this thread and I know that it's a bit too late, but I am still excited to see your coop design. So how was your experience in raising your chickens?
I have chickens right now and I really love them. My parents had ducks before but I think it's not a good fit for me since ducks are not yard friendly.
I have a chick who's name is chikitita. My mum was the one who gave her that name. I also have Troy my great rooster. I also have Henna, Beauty,Reddy and Sophie.
Congratulations on your new egg. I remember when I first saw my chicken's egg. I was so happy and excited at the same time. I always collect my eggs and refrigerate them.
Thanks for the warm welcome and thank you for sharing the helpful link. I have read some and it helped me a lot. I will surely ask questions if I can't find it on the link of the learning center. BTW, I have Australorp.
I like the name "Skittles" and congratulations on getting an egg. I'm so excited while browsing this thread. I get a lot of information that is very helpful to me.
