Hi from Vermont

[chickvermont]

Just getting set up to be a new chick mom. So exciting. If anyone knows of someone making coops in Vermont or New Hampshire I would love to know. Otherwise making a coop in the near future. Baby chicks are hatching at school today, so exciting.

Hi

G,ad you could join the flock! Congrats on your impending chicks I hope they hatch safe and well for you. You might like to stop by the coop section for some great ideas. Here is the link ~ https://www.backyardchickens.com/atype/2/Coop_Designs
You could also pop by your state thread to see if members in your area can help you with a coop. State threads can be found here ~https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/26/where-am-i-where-are-you

Wishing you the very best of luck and enjoy BYC

You don't have to be a carpenter by trade to make a chicken coop. People make them out of sheds, pallets (which are often free), kids playhouses, etc. Take a look at Craigslist or any place around you like Habitat for Humanity for materials. You might even be able to find someone in your area that would like to help out with a project like that.

Good luck and have fun!

Hi and welcome to BYC.

In the absence of any sources for coops locally, you may wish to consider buying a wooden prefab shed (new or used) to use as your coop - they serve the purpose very well.

all the best
