Hi - we're brand new to the world of chickens, am glad to have found this resource. I'm interested in keeping 3-5 laying chickens in our backyard as a learning experience for our three children. Have found a local feed store, several other good resources online and at our local library here in Chattanooga. We haven't gotten any chicks yet, as I haven't decided on a coop. I'm leaning toward one with a walk-in run, but don't want anything super expensive as we get started.
Does anyone have any suggestions on local coop builders? I've seen some kits online, but based on the reviews they seem kind of flimsy. Comments? I've found tons of online plans which I"m game to try, but I would then also need too invest in the right tools if I were to DIY this. Have also tried craigslist, but haven't seen just the right thing yet.
Any insights would be appreciated!
Thanks.
