Good morning! I am just beginning the adventure of raising chickens and looking forward to it! I have just completed my coop, which is 27 cubic feet (9' sq.). Attached are pictures of it. I will have a 10 X 3 (90 cu. ft) run attached to it. The ladies will live in the pen while we are at work but will be free range in the backyard when we are outside or are able to keep an eye on them. I had planned on a max of 4 birds. What are some good birds to start with? I want them to be sweet natured as my grandchildren will be around them (supervised). I had originally thought Orpingtons or Americaunas. Will the size of my coop suffice for them?
