Hello everyone! I found this site a few weeks ago while browsing Google after my wife finally gave her consent to getting some chickens. I'd been floating the idea on and off for a few years and our two children wanted to do this as well. We also have neighbors who have been helping us with the project.
I wanted to say thanks for all the ideas I've been able to glean from this site on constructing a coop and run. Construction started a few weeks ago and it's currently under roof and ready for windows and siding. The coop will be 6x9 and we're figuring on 10-12 chickens. I'm amazed at how little I've had to spend on materials just by asking around. I'll post pictures of the finished product in the near future.
Thanks again; wonderful resource you have here.
