Obsessed chicken mommy

hey y'all!

I have 5 backyard girls, free range inthe day, locked in the coop at night. It was always a goal of mine to have my own chickens and now the goal is to not end up with more than 15

I live in hockley TX, I have 2 sons and my fiance, we just bought our first home this year and the first thing on my mind was getting a big coop built (I'll post a picture later)

My dogs accepted the hens pretty easily, I have a lab and a German shepherd. My lab seems to have more of a herding interest. He doesn't hurt them, he just thinks they're fun to tease sometimes.

I love to crochet and I care very much about animals rights.

I dont know the girls specific breeds, my oldest and only layer is black and she lays small green eggs. I can get some good pictures and maybe y'all can help me figure them out??

I love having chickens because I feel like they give me a sense of accomplishment at the end of the day and I love walking out to a new egg and eating breakfast that my girls made.

This is our coop. They have quite a bit of room for girls that only go in at night but I like being able to easily walk in and cleans and all that. They have 6 boxes, harriet uses one for laying and they usually all huddle into 2 boxes at night. Sometimes harriet will sleep on her ceramic eggs alone.
