    Starting from Scratch need input please!

    Thanks so much for the ideas!! I found the coop plans and got some great ideas not only for the coop but for watering also we had been researching this as well. I'm thinking we may thin our flock down to 3-4 breeds since we have the room I can easily divide my space into seperate pens for...
