Welcome to BYC...

May I make a suggestion? Build a coop bigger than you need, cuz there is a disease that is very catching... Its call chick-a-holism... If you don't have enough space, you will regret it, cuz once you get chick-a-holism, you will want more and more... HEEHEE

At the very least, wipe the poop off your feet before getting in the car.
