Greetings from Central Oregon!
Little background. I'm in the process of buying a home with a yard! WooHooo! I've wanted chickens for years. My pinterest is full of chicken stuff and the hubby makes fun of me for watching HOURS of chicken keeping videos on youtube.
I do breed reptiles and have done so for the last 10+ years. I do know it's a completely different animal but the experience should be helpful.
I want to do this correctly but money is a big issue with the home buy. I'm not extremely handy so I want to have a coop made and then add the run myself. What I want/ need to know is a coop that is 3x4 with 2 nesting boxes okay for 6 chickens? In reality I'll most likely not get more than 4 to start. I'm hoping to get a mix but all larger eggers and only pullets/hens/girls/females/dams. haha! No Roos.
A local friend breeds chickens and I'm thinking I'll get 1-2 easter eggers and one- two blue laced red wyandottes that she keeps.
Thanks for any and all help.
