    Hello from North Georgia

    I've been scratching around here for a while and decided to join in. Back in April I built my chicken coop and a temporary run. The coop is made from recycled and leftover building materials. I did have to buy some hardware and fencing. At that time I purchased 16 chicks from a local grower...
