    Quote: Hi Jen! My 3yo loves black chickens the best. We got a cuckoo marans for her, and we love the super dark brown eggs. They are so pretty next to the blues and greens. Our coops are just open air pens with a few "lean to's" to give shelter from wind and rain. It works pretty well...

    Roosters

    Thank you all for the quick replys! I kind of figured that at least 2 will have to go. I will probably keep Noel...now known as Leon (noel backwards HAHAHA) and see if he is good to his girls. The mini face-offs are already starting but they are not long lasting or too terrible. My grandma...
