    Noobie from CNY!!! Hello All!!!

    Hi!! I have been reading and reading here, and just doing that has made a world of difference to me!! I ordered some EE pullets, and some Plymouth Rock pullets from Ideal for delivery the first week of March. I told the guys that the coop had to be done, so now I guess I have to design it...
