Hi from NH

[al st aubin]

Hi. My name is Al and my wife and I are starting our backyard flock now. I'm building my coop and run this weekend. Then Ordering my birds on Sunday. Still trying to decide but looking at 3 sexlinks 3 sussex an 3 Ameraucanas. I'm in NH and were told these are hardy birds. My coop is 4x8 I got it free just need a few modifications. My run will be 8x10 with hardware cloth around the exterior. Adding the coop the birds will have 12'of yard, 4 of it under the coop. Thinking some electrical fencing around that also. Open to any advice.

I thought I needed something to shake up the place. Smoking guns or avatars, didn't seem family friendly. But as a compromised height individual I thought high heels would elevate my status here.
