I want to do it right the first time

Hello,
I am thinking of getting a couple laying hens.
And building a chicken coop.
I would LOVE any advise for both.
Thank you!

Hi and from Ohio. So happy you joined. My advise is to build the largest coop you can because chicken math tends to take over. Good luck.

Welcome! This site is amazing for details and how-to's. I've used it a great deal. Also, I highly recommend the book "The Small Scale Poultry Flock" by Harvey Ussery. I've planned my coop and run based on quite a few of his ideas/practices...it gave me a completely different idea of poultry management.

Thank you! I really like the site! I have got a few ideas from everyone on it.
Thanks for the suggestion.
