Hello From Central California

what a great way to get into chickens!

With three coops, do you have three runs?

We went last year, never realized there were so many breeds and how big and small some got.

Do they still have it at the fairgrounds?

Yes!

That's where it was when I went. Nice place.

Yes, but I am kicking myself for not being a member of the forum before I built the "triple coop". Under a bit of time pressure (and oppressive triple digit heat), I penciled out what would seem to work the best and went for it. The coop is mostly done, I am starting tomorrow on the runs. Two of the runs will be 4x20' and the third is about 18x24. The smaller runs are for the roosters, which will be let out each day and the third is for the two hens which will remain in the run/coop area.

Here is the front of the coop

And a side view (both side are the same) Both openings serve as vents which can be opened or closed.

And the back of the coop with the large clean out doors

Here's an overview of where the runs will be. The yellow shows the approximate areas for the three runs and the red is the coop (our house is not in view, that's a neighbors place to the right).

Well as a forum noobie I seemed to have bungled my photo uploads. It's late, I'll try to fix it tomorrow. Thanks for your patience.

It looks good!

You did fine on the images. It will be easy to fix
