Love it! What a flock!! We definitely don't plan on eating ours, either. When the time comes, we'll have to give them away to someone who will benefit.

I’ve rehomed some of my hens and all of my roosters. These girls will be with me for the rest of their (hopefully long) lives. Love your set up! You can see my coop and run by clicking the “my coop” tab in my profile.

Here are a few pics of my girls.

Do you guys have a lot of eagles up there? We’ve got baldies and golden eagles down here. That’s why I have the camo netting set up over their favorite grassy area. We also have red-tailed, red-shouldered, Cooper’s, and sharp-shinned hawks as well as Great Horned Owls and more black vultures than you can shake a stick at!
