Hello from Auburn WA, about to start building my coop.

[yuriyo923]

We bought our house just little over a year ago on just under an acre. We are almost done with our remodel and redoing out yard so next is I want to build a chicken coop.

I have a large area in the back of the property next to the garage that is fenced ( 2 sides have 6' chain link fence and 1 side has 5' chain link fence) I want to build a coop for about 10-20 hens and another section in the coop to house 2 miniature goats.

Any help or tips would be appreciated, I'll be posting more q's soon

Hey! Just remember that you do not have to build a big fancy coop right off the bat or ever! They are chickens and really just need a dry temperate place. Above all have fun, you can always add more!
