I love this story!
the reason I need it to house 30 birds is because my mom has a friend whos husband owns a chicken farm. and when her friend heard I liked chickens she asked if I wanted to come over and see them. so ofcourse i said yes because who wouldnt want to see some chickens? but I was not expecting the kind of farm they have. its like a FARM farm they have a very big thing going on over there because every two weeks on wensday they put several thousand eggs in the incubator to hatch (huge incubators like 7 feet tall and 8-9 feet deep and 5 feet wide and they have 5 of them! with big wheels inside to turn the eggs) these incubators hold about 100 trays of eggs and each tray holds about 90 to 100 eggs so again BIG incubators! anyways they have a lot of pretty chickens because they are all mix breeds and some of the roos are HUGE!!! I mean their wattles are 4-5 inches long and the roos them selves are about 3 feet tall! anyway when I get there they take me around and show me everything and then when we go to look at the breeding house (last thing) he has 30 eggs waiting for me! and of course because they had been so nice I did not want to say no because they had these eggs out before I had even got there and those eggs had been laid that morning. so thats how I ended up with 30 eggs along with the 6 I had that are due to hatch the 21st. so I need the coop to hold these birds till I can get rid of some roos and know that they are roos.
and I already have 3-5 people who want "organic" chicken and "organic" eggs so no problem there! and if I still have to many eggs I can donate them to the church! they are always cooking things so they could probobly use them. I plan to keep most ifnot all the hens and one roo per 8 hens because the roos that bred what will come out of these eggs were very docile.
