I finaly completed a coop and a run. A lot of information came from this forum, so I am kind of going to give back now, describing this ongoing adventure
the whole thing is not complete though, but it is completed enaugh to start puting some info here.
Let me start with what the plan was:
1. I start building begining of February with building a small gazebo my wife wanted.
2. Once a roof is up, I use not finished gazebo as a shelter for my tools and start working on a coop.
3. At the end of February I get 10 Buff Brahma chicks (well, nine and a rooster) and keep them in one of the guest rooms.
4. By the end of March the coop and run are completed and chicks move there. I reached this point yesterday
The duck part I am scratching off now, but it was like this:
5. At this point I start working on the duck house for ~5 ducks
6. I am getting ducks
7. Once duck house is completed I split the run and move the ducks in
Now it is replaced with building extra storage/small energency coop or brooder
8. I finish the gazebo
