Go by the local farm and home. Check out the pre fab coops. Should give you a decent idea. Id Damn sure spend the extra bucks on one inch welded wire for the entrance,exit, summer screens, ect.

I have a friend whose mom had a eglu (yes, the expensive ****ing modern things that are ridiculous) and has stopped raising birds. I may try to buy hers. As you may know, our house is pretty modern and my wife is big on the aesthetics of shit (okay, I am too, but I'm not gay, swear), so the eglu would be a good fit, if we can get it at a decent price (less than $200).

Cholesterol be damned, I usually have two eggs for breakfast everyday. Sometimes I boil them and sometimes I fry them in a skillet with butter, and put them on bread with a slice of havarti cheese or extra sharp cheddar. Mmmm.

I love eggs as well, and I think they're the perfect breakfast/lunch/dinner. I'll eat them all day long. I also have no problem frying them. I really don't think that Americans are fat, dying ****ers because of eggs. It has a lot more to do with the absolute shit processed food we eat from McDonald's on a daily basis and the 80 oz. of soda we drink. Anyway... do yourself a favor and learn to poach eggs quickly. While I'm not against fried eggs... poached eggs are healthier and delicious. Big Daddy turned me on to taking some soft poached eggs, throwing them on a bed of spinach, tossing it all together with some hot sauce, and eating. For variety, throw in some cilantro, green onions, or whatever else tickles your fancy. Talk about a power breakfast!!!

Damn.. I'm looking at a 6 acre plot of land down here in central florida and want to stock it with some chicken so I can stop paying top dollar for farm-fresh eggs and free-range chicken... didn't realize there were so many varieties!

NC, Rhode Island Red's are the best production layers you can get. I used to show Araucana's and Silkies when I was in 4H, Silkies and Aracaunas are some of the coolest looking birds you can get IMO. I have raised a couple hundred Aracaunas and they are brilliantly diverse, not many of them look alike, which is pretty rare. MO, all the Aracaunas I have ever raised layed large eggs, never had an issue with them laying small or even remotely small eggs. |

Seriously? Maybe you had a bad batch, we have had R.I's as long as I have been alive and I have never had what I would consider ugly birds, they typically look like the bird in the picture below.
