Reg,
lost track of you but I'm back and I love your progress and enthusiasm. You are lucky to have the cement pad especially with all the rain you have been getting. I think I will add pea stone walkways near my coops. The snow is finally melting and it's gonna get messy quick!
I am really looking forward to seeing your run also
Can I just say your coop and run sound like they are going to be fab and i have all different breeds of chickens, in fact have none the same apart from the silkies (i have 3) and I have 13 in total and 3 chicks just hatched!
I don't know if anyone has mentioned this but I don't think wyandotte's lay as many eggs a year as other chickens??? I was told this when i went to get some new hens but maybe this doesn't matter to you?? And of course i could be wrong!!
Have read through all your posts and look forward to seeing the finished coop!!
