Growing Up: Easter Egger

[goldnchocolate]

JMPE: I looked at your pictures on your view blog. Your chicks are adorable and I love their names. I have to say I really like the pictures of your coop. What is the wired section near their pop-hole?

I live in WI and wanted my girls to have lots of room inside during the winter and wet spring months. I built the whole thing in a 10x10 shed. I have a coop with a roosting area and nest boxes attached by a ramp down to an indoor run with a lift top. The birds will be able to move freely between the two indoor parts. We have ever predator in the book, so I tried to build super secure and used hard wire for the inside run as well as the outside.

Note on the above... The picture on my page is before I had the whole project done (for that matter, I'm still not "done"). The bottom is all buttoned up, and I have the area at the front set up of my feeders and water.

I have two easter eggers

Emerson at 1 day old:

Thoreau at 1 day old:

And here they are at 12 weeks (the white one with a little brown on her head is Thoreau and the brown one is Emerson):

All of you pictures are just adorable! Where do you find them? Would you recommend http://www.randallBurkey.com/5-Chick-Family-Special/productinfo/80248 for a first timer?
Thanks

If I added up what I spent on all those individual components (and the driving to get them added on), it would have been a lot more than $119. I'd say go for it. You can always add more later. BUT.... I don't know about the reliability of the breeder. Maybe someone else will help you out on that score.
