Hello. Thank you for writing to me. I, too, am a Christian. My two sons (twins) are grown and each have son of their own. I am married and live in the country with my husband. For many years, I have wanted to have chickens, and I finally made it happen. YEAH! My problem is, I didn't plan well. My husband and son were going to build a coop for my girls, but for various reasons, it hasn't happened yet. Right now they are in a small coop that was purchased at Rural King Farm Supply. It's cute, but not predator proof, so I have it in the garage. The poor chickens are growing so fast. The coop is made for 2 to 4 chickens, and I have 9. My plan is to have a permanent coop close to our garage for night time safety and a chicken tractor to move around our three acres during the day. I'm looking for the cheapest place to buy hardware wire, as money is a little tight. I'm looking for advice or any ideas for building a coop and a chicken tractor. I am eager to learn! Please share your chicken stories if you'd like. thank you
