Hello everyone, I need some ideas on what coop to build.

[Chicky Lover]

About 3 months ago I bought five chicks from TS they have been doing really well and we have a temporary coop set up for them. I know we will be expanding our flock by getting a rooster and a few more hens, so I would like to know what kind of coop I should build, how to cover maintenance, bedding and other things that should be in the coop. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I suggest that you look for the Texas Coop Build thread in this section for a design that suits your climate.

Thank you.

If at all possible, build for the maximum number of birds your anticipate total, and then some. A lot easier to build big (and maybe never quite fill up the space) than small, and end up scrambling to add on or change things yet again later on.
