New chicken owner

[Jlynn88]

Hi everyone! In the last 3 months I have accumulated 5 hens and a rooster. After adding on to the coup and letting 'Little Joe' guard the hens from outside the coup, we're finally getting an abundance of eggs. My family raised chickens when I was a kid and I'm so excited to have my own! I also have a lot of questions about breeds and would love some coup suggestions (planning on adding to our little flock)!
