We hope to sell 2 or 3 dozen eggs a week so the girls can pay for their feed - no more major egg business however! Neighbors are looking forward to the fresh eggs - and I'm hoping NOT to be tempted to add more birds to fill the demand! Having the coop is great - really gets us outside more on our property to have better use of the yard.

Glad to be able to join the subscribers of Keeping Chickens! Photos are of the coop finished without birds (yet) - in the photo, the chicken house is on the far left with feed storage in the waterproof barrel under a set of shelves. Here are the girls eating greens when they were a couple of months old - hatched 4/20/11.
