Hey there from Texas

[Wesleyhtx]

Good morning everyone!
I amjust getting started in three poultry lifestyle. I have a pretty good setup started as far as new born chicks. I am getting started in building a coop for around 6-10 chickens. As most know it’s hot as hell down here in south east Texas so what are yalls opinions on a cost effective coop that will produce healthy, egg producing chickens. Open to all opinions and pictures!

You'll get a lot of good advice from the people here. there's a section called where are you, where am I? That has a thread in it with folks from Texas as well.

And right now it's not hot, it's freezing!

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
I'd be looking to build something with lots of ventilation that is predator proof. So stay away from chicken wire!
