I have a mismatched flock but trying to start primarily working with houdans. I have a lavender Orpington, 4 silkies, 3 sizzles, 2 Turken, a pound chicken from the RCACP, Millie fleur, 2 heritage RIR, golden laced polish, houdan anddddd 3 Easter eggers 😅
Exactly what others have confirmed, I will not allow any breeding between two “frizzled” or “sizzles” showing the frizzled gene to prevent any issues!! Thank you for your response

You're fine, as long as it benefits my flock. I'm also planning on rotating the coop so the rain falls off the sides instead of into the run. Going to utilize tin/metal for the roof as well since shingles fall apart after so long.
Hey everybody! Finally broke down & purchased the plans from Woodshop Mike to build this beautiful coop. I was wondering if anybody else had built this one & had any money saving tips/tricks or even recommendations. I hope to start purchasing the supplies within the next week or so...
