Hello from Tennessee

We have a covered run set up already, my hubby will be building the coop this weekend. We bought a brooder but upon setting it up I don't think it will be big enough after a couple weeks so we will be doing something different. I wish we could free range but we, unfortunately, have many stray neighborhood cats. Also, we live in town on a bit less than 5 acres and I don't want the chickens bothering my neighbors' yards and gardens.

How many chickens are you planning on having? Bantam or standard?

Those numbers are important when you plan your coop build. You'll need a certain amount of square footage for each chicken. And chicken math = more chickens than you plan for! :cool:

@3KillerBs has a great article on ventilation here, I'll try to go find it for you.
