    Howdy. About to be chicken mom!

    Thank you for all the advice here so far. Yes the chickens arrived. Within a day I had an egg. They average about 3 a day for 4 hens. I am very pleased. I left the coop floor empty and have straw in the nesting boxes. In their run they have dirt that they love to bathe in. This their coop.
