I have 10 chickens and get 7 or 8 eggs a day during the summer. Chickens don't lay we'll when the days get shorter and winter approaches. My egg production is already decreasing. As far as a coup, I went to academy and bought a dog kennel with a cover.($199.00). I then took some chicken wire and coerced the top holes to prevent creatures from getting in. if you live near any woods, you will probably have problems with coons. i also sprinkle Snakeaway around the pin to keep snakes away. Works great. I then built several egg 3 laying boxes.
