Thank you for the share!! I’ll definitely explore the thread posted. 🙂 I love your coop!!

All great to know!! It’s really helpful to have the numbers to refer to. I’ve scrapped previous plans, and am looking at larger coops, and runs!

Thank you to the link for the article!! I had a couple chickens when I was a child, but am new to learning about ownership as an adult!! I’m also new to the site, and didn’t see the articles, so will be going down a rabbit hole to learn more! I did just get a tax refund, so have a little extra...

Thank you!!

Yes! I’ll definitely post in the forum you linked when she’s a bit older!! Thank you!

Thank you!!

Will do!! Thanks so much!

Absolutely! Great point - thanks!!
