I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you all for the kind words of welcome.
I've been busy getting ready to saw several logs on the mill, so I haven't been on here much.
I plan on using the lumber to build a small shed for things things such as pine shavings, tools, bags of oyster grit, feed, etc. to sit next to the coop and run. And the shavings from the boards that I plane down along with grass clippings, leaves, and pine shavings, will go in the run to absorb the moisture.
Thank you all again for the kind words. :)
 
Welcome to the roost. I really like your run and coop set up. I have two BO and love them. One of them is my cuddle bug (Lysette). Seorgiena is hit or miss with the want for attention. LOL Neither have started laying yet (16 weeks). We had a similar situation, as I wanted chicks, but my husband was slow to get onboard. I just got mine this past April and May. We had 3 cockerels in the first set of five EEs. I had to rehome them, but they all still get along, and they even went to home with a 2 year old rooster. So, there is hope. :) I wish you much success with your flock!

Thank you for the welcome. We love our buffs, and they are spoiled like puppies. I was just out in the yard feeding them sunflower seeds (two of the girls flew onto my lap and were telling me to hurry up), from seed heads I gathered in the garden a few weeks ago. I always let a dozen or so grow from last years sunflowers, for the pollinators. The honeybees love the flowers, and the chicken love the seeds. So far our 3 roosters get along. Reggie, the Light Brahma is quite a bit bigger than Louie and Ollie, and they seem to give him respect, even though he's the gentle giant of the run. Thanks again for the kind words and warm welcome. :)
