We just moved from city life in CA to the country in Tamworth, NH. We just bought a home on 2 1/2 acres and now I can raise some chickens like I’ve wanted to do for a long time. Right now I’m in the learning process and doing lots of research with books, YouTube videos and now this forum. I have a lot to learn and plan on starting with about 15 chickens in the spring of 2020. I’m hoping to get my coop built before winter arrives but we will see.
 
Hello and welcome to BYC! :frow Glad you joined.
Welcome to the east coast and congratulations on purchasing some acreage.
You are already on a great path to success by researching lots first and getting your coop and run done well in advance of getting any chickens.

:frow Hi there! It's so nice to have you here! You will learn a ton! If you haven't started a coop yet then the first rule is to make it TWICE as big as you think you'll need, you won't regret it! Good infrastructure will pay for itself in the long run. i hope you'll post pics of your build! Good luck!
 
Welcome to BYC! :frow

Thank you for adding your location to your profile! It helps us answer questions better, because we have an idea of your weather without asking all the time. That being said, I would advise you to build a good size coop. You said your gonna start with about 15, so you might end up with 30 :gig....or more :lau chicken math is a real thing!:old
You might want to start a thread in the Coop & Run Design forum to get feedback on what your planning! If you get your coop done before you have chicks, you can brood them in there and keep all the dust and dander out of your house. Also plan space inside your coop to have a temporary brooder, for adding new chicks to your flock. It makes integrating them a lot easier IMO.
