My wife and I decided to get some chicks this spring. In all, we ended up with 13 chicks of various types.

3 - black jersey giants
2 - barred rocks
2 - australorps
4 - rhode island reds
And a couple others I do not remember what type

My wife and I are looking for egg production.

Its just too much trouble to raise chickens for the meat. Well, unless you do not like factory raised meat that is.

Right now the coop is only 6 feet wide by 4 feet deep.

Easter weekend I am planning on adding a 6 feet wide by 7 foot deep section. When its finished the coop should be about 11 feet long and 6 feet wide.

You'll get plenty of eggs that's for sure. Best part about that is they are way better than anything store bought.
