I just recently built a coop and purchased chicks and all the supplies. My coop was a birthday gift and pirchased on Amazon. I had a lot of fun building it. I have 3 pullets and 1 Rhode Island White. I really know nothing other than internet research. I live in Central Texas where it is very hot this time of year. The temperature has been my big concern. I have a 3.5 year old and 2 cats and one pit mix rescue dog (also a concern.) I hope to learn from this forum and help solve problems that may arise!
