My coop is an unused horse trailer. I keep it in a fenced enclosure but living in rural NM with skunks, coyotes, raccoons, etc I find it secure and easy to clean.
I have been seeing all the cool birds that I could have if I had an incubator. I am looking for high quality Marans (prefer FC or Splash) but the only way to get them are in the form of eggs. Does anyone out there ship chicks? I have SC from a hatchery and the eggs are not as dark as I want...
