Our family is just starting our homestead adventure. We are looking forward to learning about how to raise chickens in Northwest Florida. We have several acres so we plan to build a chicken tractor. Any and all advice is welcome.....coop designs, breeds, etc.
Thanks!

It's all here for you, try the coop section, etc. You might do best if you visit the Learning Center and branch out from there.
