    So why I am racking my brain on how to do my winter set up with so many families as I always want them to have a good amount of space to roam as long winter inside.. but to break the coop into many small pens does not make sense as long winter to be cooped like that.

    Beautiful!! I do wish we could get stock easier into Canada! Is there anything you prefer in one over the other or notable differences other than their comb? ☺️ Are Rose combs as big and lay as many eggs or more as their counterpart with the straight comb? Do you find fertility issues?
