Hello Benwanteggs

I like your coop.  Well done!

It will need a couple of coats of paint to keep it from becoming water-logged.
Chip board is notorious for soaking up water and then turning moldy and rotten.

Otherwise, it looks like you are well prepared for winter.

As you probably know, we sometimes get high drifts of snow in the Maritimes. I sometimes have to shovel a path and clear the snow around my coop just to feed and water. If the coop is placed where snow usually accumulates then it could easily become covered. Last winter I moved my coop to the south side of a 6 ft board fence and it was much easier to reach throughout the winter, because snow didn't pile up around it.

Good luck! and may you be blessed with many eggs.  Looks like you have good egg layers

Last year it hardly snowed at all here!

Yup, got them from C&S. At 6 months, they probibly weigh about 6-7 lbs. They're the fattest roosters i've got. I thought they'd be prettier. They're very well behaved though. Do you think you need a rooster for your girls? I'd like to see them go to a good home.

If you kept it a while longer, I am building breeding pens and would consider it.

My girls are so tiny. I haven't weighed them, but they are shorter than my younger Red Sex Links.

Bought them early July when they were a week or so old. I was sure they were confused with the bantams. They are that small.

Here's a picture of the wyandottes, I'll keep them as long as I can, but winter's coming...

I think they do well with their Wyandottes. They should really give up their barred rocks though, they are terrible quality.

Here are my two girls with one of the poor quality barred rocks. At least they are all girls They are 10 weeks in the picture.

I've rehomed the barred rocks. Some even had pink legs.

We are having a great fall! It's been really warm if you forget last week. Yesterday it was 21. Can't complain!

Got to love that...

Weather here, just south of Edmonton has been alright. High's around +14*C or so.
Better than minus 30.

Just wanted to share with my fellow Canadians about a show coming up next month in Red Deer!

Ahh fall, I miss it so much! The colorful leaves, the chirping of the crickets, it was all so beautiful, sadly it doesn't happen in the Philippines.

It's been cool and very wet here. The leaves started to turn and drop early this year. Still plenty of leaves on some of the trees but others are naked.
