This weekend, several members of Food, Land, and You began building our 12'x8' chicken coup, which will house the hens we are purchasing for the Groton School CSA.  Our class has decided to go with Barred Rock hens because of their good temperment, hardiness in cold weather, and excellent laying ability.  With the 12 hens ordered we should produce enough eggs for our sharemembers and the school cafeteria.
