Hello everyone,
I used to keep chickens in the suburbs. I used to keep a pair of Silver Sebright and one RIR. One point I did had three roosters-I bought two baby chicks and both turn out to be males, had my dad to cull them off and that how I ended up having the RIR. I did had one EE with the RIR but did not make it through.
I had to give up chickens because of my neighbor dogs. I couldn't bare walking to the coop to feed them, clean the coop. So I made my dad to give them away to the feed store. I was in high school at the time (10th grade). I went hitatus with keeping chickens after that...now I want to keep chicken again. I wish I could have the old coop back. It a bit larger room for space and a proper hight for a roost, and it tuck away from the backyard. But I hate dealing with my neighbor dog jumping at our old fence that depsretly need to be replaced with a brick wall!
Right now the old coop is converted back to a vetagble garden space.
For now maybe this plan might be okay...
I have a new potential spot to keep chickens, but the coop would have to be 4'X4'. How tall can the coop be? I want to talk to my dad about keeping chickens again and maybe if he is willing to make a "extenshion" to my mom "hair salon shed". I want the extenshion to be the new storage space. Bottom part would be the coop and the upper part to be the new storage space.
