My wife recently brought home 20 chicks. There are 4 breeds 5 of each. We have no idea what breeds. We have a black breed, an orange breed, a yellow with orange head breed and a smaller brown variegated breed. One of the orange ones looks like it is a rooster. His name is Mr. Hen.
In a search for coops, I was not happy with the ones that I saw being sold, so I decided to convert a shed from Lowes with a loft. It has been a grueling 6 weeks, but it's finally up and the chickens are out in it. I'll post pictures when I get a few and access to a real Internet connection. I'm sure I made lots of mistakes, but I'll learn. Hopefully, I won't learn at the expense of my chickens.
Right now, my most pressing problem is the windows and vents. I need to protect from rain, heat and cold.
