Title: bock bock bock
Post by: Jake on September 13, 2021, 01:42:07 PM: We're getting chickens - haha. With the prices of lumber being what they are, I just ordered a nice coop (https://overezchickencoop.com/products/large-overez-chicken-coop) - it should come this week. Then I'll build a run for it. I'm not sure if we'll still get chicks this year, or if we'll wait until spring. Every one is excited!

8 to 10 eggs per day, except when days are short and cold; mid-November to mid January we've been getting 3-5. We had 10 yesterday :)
