Greetings, love the info here on BYC, its helped alot. We are starting from scratch on all of this. Coming from the suburbs of IL. to a farm in MO lol. We have alot to do before we actually buy chickens. One thing i'm wondering, when i build the coop (the goal is to have around 10 to 12 chickens and a rooster or 2). This barn you see will also have 2 or 3 goats in it, the back side is all fenced off for them the exit the barn. Would it be best to have the chicken coop IN the barn or build it right outside of it against the long wall there and fenced off? I dont know if there is a trade off for safety vs. ventilation?
thanks,
Brian
