Finally getting Chickens!

[Shazir-docfarmer]

Hello Everyone! I am finally moving beyond perusing this site and dreaming of having chickens. The coop is set up. I built a treadle feeder from plans I found in this community and settled on a watering container/system based on reading here. Today I am insulating the roof on the coop...it's metal and I am concerned with excess heat in the summer and condensation in our cold Ontario winters. Fingers crossed I'll get the chicks this weekend.
