Welcome to the BYC flock! Are you planning on having meat birds or pet birds? Have a great day!

Hello, Joanna, and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
Where are you located? I suggest converting an old shed into a coop. You get more bang for your buck that way

We're in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. No old sheds here, but we ordered a coop from OverEasy in PA that will be delivered tomorrow--5 x 6 ft. Supposed to house up to 15 hens. Looking for places to order chicks. Looking at Mt Healthy in Ohio.
