Gonna get this started Spring2026. Be tossing it around for years, now is the time.
Researching coop plans (DIY), bird types, zoning, etc.

Should be fun! See ya around

Welcome to BYC. I'm glad to hear that you are diying your coop rather than buying a prefab. If your zoning states that you cannot have a rooster you should check out sex linked (feather color) chicks, such as the crested cream legbar. You may still end up with a cockerel but its less likely.
