Hello All,
I grew up in the 50's with neighbors who had lots of chickens and grew mini farms of veggies and flowers in their backyards. Lots of years gone since then. I just moved into a house in city limits of Tacoma, WA and have a nice 10 x10 graden area fenced off in my back yard. I think I can support 2 maybe 3 egg layers. I'd like to build a small coop with nesting boxes in one corner and plant veggies in the rest of the space. Any suggestions for cheap building materials, breeds that thrive in my area of Washington state, and any other advice would be greatly appreciated. I kept a few bantam egg layers about 15 years ago and they did well until Mama Fox and her kits moved in
