Nice! I have been looking at supplies for the hutches. I am looking at a single breeding pair.
When you get ready to set up the hutches....I HIGHLY recommend you build a watering system(with water valves and plastic tubing) as opposed to water bottles. It is so much easier than filling water bottles every day. I can show what to get. It is actually cheaper to get the kit and tubing than it is to get bottles. I built one for my rabbits and rats. I fill water once a week as opposed to daily
I setup a 5 gal bucket with the chicken nipples on its but during the summer i still have to fill it once a day. also had a deer feeder setup to feed twice a day.
Well................on to layer hens, batch 2 of this year. While I was at work my wife left the door open to the back lanai where I have the brooder set up. Wiener Dogs helped themselves.

Thanks man. Definitely interested. I want to do this while the kids are still young. I will let you know when I am close to getting setup.
You know you might be a redneck....when the P.O. at the airport calls on a Saturday night and you load the family up for a road trip to go get them.
Got my order of 25, plus one extra for insurance, plus a "mystery chick" that the hatchery includes, which I believe is a silkie. All are alive and kicking this morning
