Congrats on the new Australorp chicks! You will love this breed. They are very friendly, docile and great layers. My girls follow me around like drooling puppies looking for goodies or a nice soft lap to sit on. My Aussies are huge on lap sitting!
You might want to stop by our Coops pages for some hints on getting your coop built...
If you have any questions during your build or run into any issues, you can post questions in our Coop and Run Construction forums for help there as well....
