I am new to farming, but not new to chickens. I have just recently bought a hobby farm and I am trying to convince the wife that chickens aren't the evil, stinky, creatures she has heard the rumors of.

I have enjoyed reading the forum. Long time lurker on here, but a recent member.

I cannot wait until I have my coop finished so I can get to proving the entertainment value to my wife.


I also cannot wait to get my ten post so I can add an avatar and a little info.

Thanks,
Rob

Or, maybe you should just enjoy what time you have left before for she too gets caught up in the chicken math and you have to start work on coop number 2...3...4...more...

Hi and welcome!

Oh, I hope not. The plans are for a 12 x 20 coop divided in half. One side for meat birds, the other for layers. Approximately 50 chickens.

Well she hasn't ever laid eyes on a silkie, when she does, I am afraid I will be building a coop for "her" chicks.
