    We started the build in May of 2018 while we had three SLW, two GLW, and two NH Reds in the brooder in the basement.

    My coop

    I bought a cheap shed kit on sale (7 1/2' x 12') from Costco and they have names of carpenters that you can hire to assemble it. I had to buy 3 bundles of roofing shingles. The carpenter suggested I put linoleum down since chicken poop will ruin the pressed wood floor. I bought a remnant of very...
