Just a quick howdy. Been reading on BYC.com for a week or so. I garden and have been considering chickens for a while. No chickens yet. I am in the planning stage for my coop and run. Sure glad I found this site! It has been really helpful in planning my project. There are many things I haven’t considered regarding the coop: predator proofing, water, electricity, ventilation, and more. This site has already proven to be invaluable in constructing a safe, fun and easy to maintain BYC environment.
