Hello from East Tennessee

Hi everyone
I’m in the process of building my first coop and getting a flock. I will have many questions for you all. My birds are just going to be pets. Eggs every now and then but not for eating. Also looking at setting up a brooder area and raising some chicks

This is a shed I will be turning into our coop. I will have some interior pictures up soon to get some ideas on how to set it up

Hello, Russ, and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
If you want some ideas on the conversion and laying out the interior with a built in brooder click on the My Coop link in my avatar. I did the same thing.

Having an existing building is going to make the coop easier. Be sure to check out proper ventilation and sanitary maintenance. Build first, then add those happy chickens!

I have windows that open and close the on each side of the coop. I’m gonna get some pictures up and see what modifications I will need to do.
