An Introduction

Howdy!
My wife and I are so new we don’t even own a bird yet! But we have started building a coop.
I will appreciate any and all advice y’all can give me.
Thanks,

Good morning, Rich, and welcome to BYC. Set your goals, study the forums, ask questions, prepare/plan and you will be successful in establishing your flock. When it comes to coops, 'bigger is better'.

Hello, Rich, and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
My advice is to make sure you are building your coop to the proper size for the number of birds you want to keep and to design it for very high ventilation, ease of cleaning and ease of retrieving birds off the roost for routine maintenance.

Hi Rich, good for you on building the coop first! That will make the whole process of handling fast growing chicks easier.

Thanks for joining!
