Our last two which are black bovans I believe are younger than we were told and I suspect they may start laying in a few weeks. Our daughter was giving them fresh water and sitting with them when she checked the nesting...

    Cape Breton Coop

    Hi folks. I figured I’d give a run down of our coop and run. Keep mind I’m no carpenter and you’d be hard pressed to find a 90 degree angle. But I did the best I could. Most material was recycled. Our biggest out of pocket expenses were the hardware cloth, 2x4’s, screws and hinges and stuff...
