getting back to nature!

[jdculp]

Hi everyone. I am Jennifer from LA (lower Alabama) I grew up in the country and always had chickens. I ended up in the city post divorce. Now, seven years later, I am looking to bring chickens to my city home. But, only until I find my country home. I have a deep need to farm and garden. I currently have a great worm farm that does away with most of the garbage we create. So, my chickens will have great treats! Can anyone refer a chicken coop kit? I want to put one in my back yard ASAP.
thanks,
Jennifer Culp, RN

Hi Jennifer

Glad you could join the flock! How exciting for you to be getting back into keeping chickens Do you have any breeds in mind? Have you dropped by the coop section? Lots of great ideas there on coops. Here is the link ~ https://www.backyardchickens.com/atype/2/Coop_Designs

Wishing you the very best of luck in the future. Enjoy BYC and all the chicken chat

Very nice to meet you Jennifer, Welcome to Backyard chickens. Generally kits and ready built models are not made to stand up to weather & wear. Also they tend to overstate how many chickens can fit comfortably inside. Maybe you could find a coop type you like in the coop sections and have some help you build it.
