Hi, I'm new to chickens but not forums. I have been reading this forum for a week or so. I have learned a lot from reading here. I know the value of a good forum and hope i can add to it with my postings.
I'm building a walk in 10 x 6 fenced fortress with roost and nesting boxes for the 10 buff Orpington's I'll order soon from TSC. My cousin and his wife have chickens and I'm hooked now. I have the ground ready and started the foundation. The roof is powder coated aluminum. It a section of roof use to cover a walk way between buildings that i have salvaged. I have been gathering building materials for months. I'll post more in the coop and run.
I hope to be finished in a few weeks. When i get the final design on the roosting box I'll feel better about ordering chicks. I want to be mostly finished so i can put the time in caring for the chicks not building.
