Howdy. My chickies arrive next week and I'm super excited to be a new chicken Mama. I will be getting a Black Australorp, Barred Rock, and a Buff Orpington. I've got the brooder all set up and am just trying to settle on a coop and run design for my space. I run a preschool in my backyard, and there's a hawk that frequents the space, so I don't believe I'll be letting them free range, unfortunately, but I'm hoping to provide a comfortable and happy home for them.

Welcome! So glad you've joined us!

A piece of advice: build your coop bigger than what could hold 3 hens... chicken math is almost inevitable...

Good luck with your flock!

Hello, and welcome! Good luck with your flock! A hawk? You better put a lock on the coop, so the pre-schooler's don't accidently let them out.
