    This is 8x12. They only sleep in it really. They free range about 12 hours a day right now. We have 10 acres. We will build the perm coop when it cools down. Looking to do several in a connected row like condos that we can seperate for breeding in addition to a larger area for housing .

    We will keep at least one of the Cream Legbars for sure. Probably try to trade the others as a 2 for one rooster swap to diversify the CL gene pool. As for the OE, I am guessing at least a few may end up gracing the table. While we love our babies, we are a working homestead - tiny house and all!
