Hi

Glad you could join the flock! Congratulations on your new chicks They sure are cute
Have you stopped by the learning centre? There is a lovely section on housing your chickens that should give you some ideas on how much room they will need. Here is the link ~ https://www.backyardchickens.com/atype/1/Learning_Center
I would advise that you get or make something bigger than you need right now as I'm sure you will want to add more once chicken math has taken over!

Wishing you the very best of luck and enjoy BYC

Cute chicks, thanks for sharing a picture!

If you're going to buy a coop, check out the review section to see how they stack up:

From what I've read, it's usually no more costly to build a coop and the quality can be better. There's also the issue of manufacturers over-stating how many birds a pre-made coop can comfortably fit. Do lots of homework before buying.

Good luck to you, glad to hear you are enjoying the peeps!

Hi, welcome and congrats on your new chicks! I hope that you enjoy the chicken ride

You already have some great advice - IMO sheds make very good coops.

All the best

Welcome to BYC! Your chicks are very cute, they are so awesome to watch grow. I will second the notion to check out the Coops section, there are a ton of great designs there. Even if someone isn't a carpenter, a coop isn't hard too hard to tackle.
