[gabarrelracer09]

Hey!! i am about to get some little easter eggers and i would like some suggestions on how to build a coop. im only getting 5 or so. how big should nesting boxes be? how big should the actual pen and house be. im planning on having a coop and then a small fence in area for them to go out during the day and walk around in. i really dont know where to start and would love any advice
thanks!!

If you have not seen it, this is a great thread. Not all of it will apply to you, but pick and choose what does.

If you go into the Learning Center at the tiop of this page, then go to FAQ, you can find info on nesting boxes and coop sizes.

Good Luck.
