They are all so beautiful. We want to get some eggs, but are waiting til the Spring. Any suggestion on who to get from. Also we will be building or diggin out a pond; so how deep and how big? I know that I have to have areas for my chickens to get out of. I have 3 acres. I am in the panhandle of Texas so at least 3ft deep to keep it from freezing thru. Should I place it under a tree or out in the open and plant grass/ plants? Any suggestions would be helpful. I am sure there is a web-site, book or post on here with all the answers, so please feel free to direct. Anyone with eggs this Spring...let me know. thanks BYCers
