    Planning a three sided coop/run in North Central Tx. I'm considering corrugated plastic sheet roofing over the whole thing.

    Coop size , maybe I am overthinking?

    Opinions on my potential flock dynamics

    I'm currently doing research for a new flock, I kept chickens throughout most of my childhood but it's certainly been a whole minute. I would like 8 chickens no more than 2 roos. I am thinking 3 EEs, at least one Dominique and one buff Orpington (for nostalgias sake they were my favorites as a...
