G’Day from down under Jamie Welcome and Congratulations!

I hope you enjoy being a BYC member. There are lots of friendly and very helpful folks here so not only is it overflowing with useful information it is also a great place to make friends and have some fun.

Personally, I have found the Topic of the Week articles a great resource and a one stop shop for questions which may have already been discussed within the BYC membership group.

If you would like to share pictures and stories of your flock, you have come to the right place. BYC’ers never tire of these and do not back away slowly or commence eye rolling when the photo album or home videos come out

Welcome to BYC! There are loads of coop ideas with how too's under the article section for you.

edit-- I see you are in Michigan so my coop ideas probably aren't appropriate for your area. But since your birds will be confined to the coop for longer periods during winter you will probably need more than 3 square feet per bird to avoid aggression when they mature. I'm sure someone will chime in with space recommendations.

Most of the things I read said 2, I wasn't thinking about the winter confinement, thanks for the advice!
