She has always wanted those green and blue eggs! Unfortunately, we have some BIG natural-born killer dogs who seemed to be getting along fine with our cat...until they broke his neck. I guess I could build an enclosure, or we could just wait for my stepmothers little dogs to die and use their enclosure. Would an 8' by 8' by 6' tall chain link enclosure be okay? It has a roof, so coyotes can't get in.

I know you need a rooster to get fertile eggs, but do chicks grow up and start laying without ever seeing a rooster?
