I am finally am a momma hen!

Hi fellow chicken adorers! I have wanted chickens for 30 years, and FINALLY got a few! I am starting with Orpingtons and Rhode Island Reds, I plan on adding EEG and Black Copper Morans next year or maybe later this year, what are your thoughts on the combination of these girls? We are simply a seeking eggs and joy from these girls, they are still very young and my husband is currently building their coop. I would love thoughts on predator proofing and tips for the coop. Thank you all so much!

Do you have more details on what kind of a coop you're going to be working with? It would help us with giving you suggestions.
