We started this project a few months ago when we decided that we wanted organic eggs. So far it’s been great except for having to birdnet all of our veggies. We built the coop to be automated, so the door and heat lamp are on separate timers. Luckily our Australian shepherd thinks of them as something he can herd rather than eat. We got our first egg on Feb 14th and 3 more since than. It was from the white silkie and about half the size of regular eggs. The other chickens should start laying full size eggs in about a month.
