They're small and flimsy, but they might be okay if you put them in a really secure run, though. We have a chain link dog run that we reinforced with hardware cloth that does the trick. There's a ton of used ones on Craigslist that you could use. Our chickens sleep in our shed, and our ducks are...
Nice pictures! I'm so glad you like the ladies! With the one we kept, I get an egg every other day, but it's already starting to thin out some. I've heard that if they're late to start laying, sometimes they lay longer. Hopefully that's the case.
Thank you! I don't have a microscope so I'll have to keep calling around to the vets. I was annoyed with mine because I called them before I drove all the way out there and they agreed to do it, but when I showed up with my bag of chicken poop they said "no".
