2 more Hens

Yesterday we picked up 2 more hens. They are brown and a little smaller than our other two hens. They are fitting in real good and hopefully when they settled they will produce some eggs. The wife still wants to get 4 more hens, I am hoping that we can fit them into our chicken coop. The first four do not like to go into the coop at night, of course not having any roosts inside was probably the reason. They were just put in, so I will see tonight if they stay in the coop. We have also been researching goats. We are looking into milk production so the choices are Nubian's or Dwarf Nigerians. I personally like the Dwarf's for their small stature and quantity/quality of milk production. But the Nubian's are good milkers and can be used for meat. The wife and I will have to make a decision about this in the near future.
