Luckily our "supervisor" was pleased with the addition and she has taken full advantage of the extra sq. footage

Its still in progress, I am about 80% complete. I built something large and am going to use half for storage and half for the girls. I am just hoping to finish up the coop building and get my permits to be ready in the spring. I will post some update photos when I get a minute.

Thanks for all the tips and welcomes. I think I am going to look into trying to find some australorps or rhodes island reds near by. I think they will work well for my needs.

Welcome to BYC! Glad you decided to join our flock. I've raised both Black Australorps (still have BAs) and Rhode Island Reds and they are both good breeds. The lay rates are very close between the two breeds but my Australorps have been slightly better than my RIRs. Temperament wise the Australorps are considerably better; calm and gentle. My children, and now my granddaughter, made pets of them. I never had an agressive one (I can't say the same about the RIRs). Whatever breed you end up getting, good luck with your flock.

Critta, I LOVE the temperament and personality of my Golden Comet (red-sex link) and my Wyandotte (Silver more than golden laced) are sweet both are FANTASTIC layers, started on time/early and very regular.
I think the key to a friendly hen is involvement with the chicks, for good laying go with the breed but be careful as some breeds aren't as kind when not regularly handheld as chicks.

Finally finished my coop I had some self imposed delays that pushed me back to this year from last. I went and submitted my application yesterday and am hoping to have my permit in time to make the show in May.
