New Coop - and a Chance to Win a Prize!

It's been a while since I've written a chicken post! 

This is a fun one with a chance to win a prize at the end!!!!

What better way to celebrate turning 60 (him, not me) and enjoy a Thanksgiving weekend than building a new hen coop!

Look inside. See the who just can't wait until the roof is on before having a look around. 
He had lots of little interested feathered helpers during the whole process.

A few shakes of the treat container and they all came running for a closer look.

Now, how about a little fun!!!

❓Who do you think will decide to make the brand new coop their home?

         (I like to have 3-5 in each house.)

❓What color will the egg be? 

         (Green? Light tan? Light brown? Speckled?) 

You make the call! 

Put your guesses in the comments below.  

We'll see what happens!  

😉😀😄I'll send a little 5"x7" painting to winners! 😉😀😄

Here are a few chicken stats to help you with your decision

 Dominique & her 4 babies
She totally "rules the roost." Nearly all of the hens below are her daughters.
She protects her babies and makes sure the others know she's boss.

Eleanore (from Dominique's first brood)
She's kind of aloof.  She lays lovely light tan eggs, but honestly,
she's been kind of a freeloader lately.  She took the summer off from laying. 
Her excuse was molting, but her feathers have been back for weeks,
she just recently started "working" again.

Twinkle (can't remember if she was one of Dominique's or Dolly's)

Sweet little Twinkle is easy and friendly and is a faithful layer of 

beautiful little green eggs..

Paula and Pip (Dominique's daughters from her spring brood)
They hang together most of the time.
Paula just started laying recently.  Her eggs are a beautiful shiny light green.
She's a flighty one.
Pip is stately.  She also started laying pretty light brown eggs  last week.

Foxy, Fancy-like, & Peanut (Dominique's daughters from her summer brood)
They hang together all the time.They aren't quite old enough to lay yet, but soon maybe.
Foxy is a mess.  She likes to run around the house when it's bedtime and make me chase her.
Fancy-like is so sweet.  She's a Bantam, so she'll always be small and lay small eggs.  Her feet are yellow, so I expect her eggs to be white, tan, or brown. 
Peanut is hilarious. She's a tiny Bantam who isn't afraid to jump right up onto the arm of my chair for a treat.  Her legs are gray, so I hope to see some tiny blue or green eggs from her soon.

So, what do you think?

We're going to let the hens decide.

Leave your predictions in the comments!

I'll let you know what happens next week!

FYI: It started raining, so they all put themselves to bed in their normal houses before we got out there. 

Dominique and the babies in the Sister House. 

All the other 7 crowded into the Cousin House (since Dominique kicked them all out once she had new babies.)

So, nobody went into the brand new shiny Aunt House tonight.
