I am thrilled to say that my 10 girls (yes 10, they are all still alive) are in their hen house. It took a lot of repair and time but, I am very pleased. I think they are too. If I can figure how to load a photo on here I will try to do that tomorrow. We started with an old shed and replaced and painted wood. Then we patched the roof and fixed the door. My DH helped soooo much. He had been given a chain link dog pen back that he had loaned someone and we attached it to the shed, put a fence over it and we just have a few little things to finish. My hens seem to really enjoy the space and were so funny their first time outside. They make me laugh. Can not wait till they also give me my breakfast! They are 5 RIR and 5 Barred Rocks anyone know when they should start laying? My guess is late August or September at the earliest? I got them at one day old on April 25th. Thanks! Gayle

Thats really cool Chowdown dont have far to go to take care of them. I currently have a small yard and it's mostly taken up by the chicken pens. The hubby just brought home 2 more A-frame tractors last weekend. It's amazing how fast I can fill them up. I'm currently selling a bunch of birds. We're going to move and I want to have them down to a more manageable size before we do. I still have eggs under broody's and in the incubator that i'll be bringing to the swap on the 23rd. What I have for sale now will be going to the Gleason auction barn tomorrow. That is what I don't sell today. So anybody looking for something let me know. I have 2 ads on craigslist you can look at to see what I have if you want.

I have been noticing some poultry for sale from Hornbeak and wondered if it was you. Look forward to seeing everyone the 23rd.
