Hi from Georgia

[Liz Cooperman]

Hi everyone. I live in southeast Georgia. I recently lost my chicken coop and my duck habitat along with all of my ducks and half of my chickens (thanks Hurricane Irma). I bought a prefab coop for the remaining chickens but it seems really flimsy and it's way too small. I want to try building them a coop myself and I'm excited to check out ideas on this site.

Good morning, Liz, and welcome to BYC. Good luck on the coop build.

Hello there and welcome to BYC!

Oh I am so sorry for your losses! Nature sure can be brutal.

Have you stopped by our Coops Pages here on BYC yet? https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/category/coops.12/ Lots of great ideas there, some with very good details and plans. If you run into trouble, you can always ask for help in our Coop and Run forums here,
https://www.backyardchickens.com/forums/coop-run-design-construction-maintenance.9/

Good luck with the build and I hope you can recover from the damage!
