Thank you! I am planning on leaving part of the soffits open (with hardware cloth) for ventilation. Windows are ok to blow a breeze on the chickens, when opened in the summer, right? Because I have windows on the north and south walls and the areas on the top of the east and west walls that I was planning to always leave opened for adequate ventilation in year round.

I have an east facing window that I leave open all the time, no matter what the weather or temp. Of all places to roost, this is the favorite. I will qualify by saying it is under a large overhang, plus the shade covering over the run

Today's harvest. The large ones on left are from Wendy, my Welsummer. I must have overlooked 2nd egg from day before. Then 2 from my useful hens trying their best , and last is a fart egg,,,, Yes, that is what they are called, for all the newcomers here. Wonder if it's Lonelys' try at egg production... And finally that quarterno, none of my chickens lay coins

Forget a goose that lays golden eggs, I want an ostrich that lays bitcoin!

I'd just settle for chickens that lay eggs at this point. LOL!!!!

Did that... not much luck there unless I wasn't a tiny let Lionsmane or to drive several hours.

@BReeder!
What breed are you looking for? @chickendreams24 is in Janesville, WI. They breed meat rabbits. (New Zealand, I think) Of course they just had their 1st baby on Friday (cute little human girl), so their sense of time, days, nights, are all a blur.

I would settle for NZ but really want some Flemish Giants.

These chicks hatched while I was in the hospital 2-14 . I was expecting blue laced but no blue in any of them . Odd .
