Hello from Wisconsin

[BlackEarth]

Hi, just popping in to make a quick introduction.

I finally convinced my husband to move out to the country, so we are now the proud (and shellshocked) owners of an old farm and 20 acres just outside Madison, WI.

We have no big plans, but I would like to get a flock of chickens going this summer, probably using part of one of the existing barns for a coop. I'm hoping I can get some good feedback on coop conversion and run building to start with here, and branch out from there!

There's some great info here I'm just beginning to digest, can't wait to get further in!

Here's a quick pic of the new place!

Welcome,
Y'all will love country life and I hope all goes well with the coop conversion. I am currently doing one myself in my old barn.

Hello and welcome to BYC

Your place looks amazing! Wow, lucky you

And you can do loads on 20 acres. If think if you post in the coops section you'll get loads of tips on converting that barn into a nice coop:
