ok i just got 8 chicks today 4 are americauna ( i think thats how its spelled) and the other 4 are leghorn pullets. i set them up in a brooder box in my basement for the time being and we are planning on building their coop and run this weekend with my kids. We are hoping that the chicks we got will make both good eggers as well as good pets. Any suggestions or info on these breeds would be greatly appreciated. Also why are all the coop designs i have seen raised off the ground. is this really necessary? Any information or pointers to help me get started would be great. thanks. courtney
