Thanks all, and to answer about the Freedom Rangers, I know nothing about them other than someone "invented" them for a certain purpose, I believe was a better foraging egg layer ?
Don't have any idea.
I am making my own.

from Heritage breeds.

Thanks for the input!

I may have to hang onto the orpingtons until I know for sure what they are. I'd love to have hens, and they are beautiful birds, very calm. The lavender orps have much smaller combs, but it may just be because they are different birds. The Barnies are calm too, at least so far. They are supposed to be a mellow bird.

You should have seen my runs before we built the new coop! No matter how deep I'd bark them, the mud would come right through, even with the covered run. In a couple of days, the birds would be to their knees in mud! And I'd have to kneel in it to change out their food and water

The kids playground never got muddy, so we ripped out the swingset and had someone build these covered runs for us. I think the playground retaining wall keeps the water from flowing through and the ground cloth under the bark keeps the mud from seeping up. My dogs had their kennel on here for a while, and the dogs stayed clean, and bet of all, Shasta can't dig through the groundcloth! since it contained her, I knew it'd be good.

I would love to have lavender orpington eggs right now my broody sisters are sitting on 5 buff orpington eggs.

I just signed up to be the first person to follow your blog, not that I ever follow any blogs, just peek sometimes. I just couldn't resist "first person!"

How old is your daughter? She looks a little older than mine. Olivia will be 10 in July.

She just turned 10 in march. She's always been tall for her age because we have tall people on both sides of the family.
Thanks for following.
