Here are my browns outside their coop.
I transformed a tool shed that had all ready done duty as the steer calf barn into a snug little coop for the girls. It's well insulated and I haven't had any problems with water freeze up yet this winter.
I started with 30 but we lost one to a predator when they first started going outside and I sold 5 to a buddy at work. The 24 we have left lay about an egg a day and the wife sells them at work. They pay for their own food and provide us with a sense of accomplishment.
Gotta love them chickens
