    Mottled Java!!

    Cool thank you! I can't have a roo where I'm at. I love my javas! They are very sweet and friendly, a little skittish but getting better with that, and they are really big!!! Are they suppose to be really big? I heard they are bred with a jersey giant? They are twice as big as my Sussex girls

I bought this coop from tractor supply...

    Will pullets lay eggs in another location that's not their coop?

    Here is their coop.. Also my mottled javas are huge! I don't even think they can fit in these little nesting boxes anyway The hutch I'd like to put crates in for their nesting boxes
