Thanks for the idea, I'm going to add the tarp for the summer at least. I'll have to put up something more sturdy once the winter storms it, the winds here will send the tarp flying across the county. I have some corrugated panels I plan on using for a more permanent shade solution, but I'll...

Here is my coop, finally finished enough to enter!! https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/the-breakfast-barn

My first EE egg!! and a couple others, not sure who laid them yet

My experience was great. I ordered during the time of year when 15 is the minimum. They were friendly on the phone ordering and shipped them as soon as all the breeds I wanted were ready. They sent me tracking info and the little babies were at my local post office within less than 48 hours. I'm...

It's cute. My "free rare exotic" from Murray turned out to be a Silver Leghorn Roo. I had to wait until he was fully feathered though before I found out what he was, lol. It's so hard to tell when they're chicks. Adding my vote, based on the breeds that Murray lists on their site with...

I'm planning on painting the inside of my new coop. I am thinking just plain white or tan/light brown to hide the dirt, what color did you paint yours?

Cool, thanks! I think I'm keeping the Silver Leghorn, but its such a hard choice.

I'd love to have a chocolate egg layer! What a beautiful assortment!

I don't have any cross breeds yet, but I ended up with three roosters of different breeds along with my ladies. I am considering keeping one for breeding later on. I have one silver leghorn and what I think is a welsummer. I am wondering how the genetics for egg color works, if I bread the...

Awesome, thanks!

I have 3 Easter Eggers in my new batch of chickens. They are just now 5 months old. When do they start laying? Given it's Feb. right now so even my full grown ladies aren't laying much right now. I am waiting impatiently for some green/blue eggs, lol. Here's two of them with a Speckled...

Here is my other rooster. He's about 5 months old, so not full grown yet. He came in the new batch of ladies I ordered. He was labeled as "free rare exotic" Its hard to see in the pic but his dark feathers are black with iridescent green, really beautiful Any ideas on what breed he is? And...

And when my Welsummer started laying, if you can see the little egg in the palm of my hand it's REALLY tiny. I didn't think it was an egg at first. Sadly she's gone now, I miss her, she was one of my favorites and she had beautiful darker brown eggs. Here is the egg all by itself on my...

Here are some of my ladies first eggs, this is when I first discovered that my Barred Rocks were actually California Greys. LOL, I was not expecting any white eggs!

Thanks for all the input. I did the math and it's cheaper for me to do the wood boxes since I can make them myself. And I do like the idea of the wood better than metal. Now I am trying to decide how high up they should be. I am thinking somewhere around 12-14 inches off the ground. The...

Thanks for the welcome and info! I'm still exploring this site, there's so much good stuff here!!

I have another rooster to post here too, but I have to get a good picture of him, hopefully it will be drier tomorrow. He's in a separate pen with my new batch of ladies. They are about 5 months old.

Awesome, thanks. I was searching through breeders pictures and I kind of thought he might be that, but I know there's way more breeds out there than I've seen so far. His name is Fred, I just love his feathered feet.

I have a bantum rooster, he was in the mixed bin so I don't know what he is. I thought he was a girl until he crowed one day... What breed do you think he is?
