Pats Poultry
Chirping
Hi to all,
My name is Pat and my Bride and I have been talking about getting a few Chickens for a while now. We finally made the big decision and decided to go all in. With that said I began to build a coop about a month ago. The first week went a tad slow as I am one of those who will never get any plans and just jump in and start to build. Lets just say that I worked on it for 40hours. 36 of those hours was sitting there thinking about how I should start. 2nd week went a little bit better. 3rd and 4th weeks, well, you know. I just have to paint and roof it. Another couple of months and I should have the run done. Ha Ha.
I have been on this site for that entire month and have gained a wealth of knowledge about these birds. We will wait till spring to get the chicks as it gets a tad cold here in the winter months.
We are thinking about getting three buff orpingtons to start with and see how that goes. My coop is rather small so I think that is all that will be comfortable in our setting. I will post pics of the coop, or as my bride calls it the Poultry Palace as soon I figure out how to do that.
Thank you all for this great site
