Urban Chicken Farm

We bought a chicken coop yesterday. I am so excited, mostly for fresh eggs. My coop is slightly more basic, but I found some pics of fantastic designs. Now, I just need to add chicks. I'm considering a Maran (dark brown eggs), Ameraucauna (blue & green eggs), Brahma (large breed), Black Sex Link, and maybe a Silkie and a Cochin, just for fun. This is all new to me, but I've been learning a lot about how to care for them and what to expect. To find out more about urban chicken farming, click here or here. PS, for those of you who know that I'm terrified of roosters, especially aggressive ones that chase you while you're out for a morning jog. There will be no roosters in my coop :)
