Hello! You are gonna love them! Make sure to prepare yourself to add on more room and coops cause chicken math will kick in quick and you’ll want more, lol.

 

[COchknPilot]

yeah I can see how you start collecting! I built the coop myself and easily have room for 15-20 more birds, would probably add on a few more laying boxes though. They mostly free range but if I got more I would expand the run to get them some more room outside

All hand built! Built on top of pressure treated 6x10 wood. Doubled up 2x6 construction, hardware cloth including buried under run, wired for electric. 5 boxes although they only like 1 of them occasionally a second box.

I LOVE it! Nice work!

Now that you've started raising chickens, you'll have to build about 10 more of those coops to house all the new ones you'll start accumulating
