Hi. I am totally new....working on my plans to convince my husband to get chickens, for the spring. First...Build a Coop.
I don't have a large backyard, but I'm thinking a 8X8X7walls coop. 8x10 run, enclosed. Looking at getting 5-6 chickens to start, but I hear and read its addiction, and have already become obsessed.
Am I going overboard or just treating them good.
I live in Northern Ontario, Canada...so our winters are chilly often between -20 and -30C. I thought the coop should be big enough since our winters are long and they will want to stay in.
Plans for 6 nesting boxes too.
What do all you experienced chickers think?
Thank You so MUCH
