We're so happy you've decided to join us
Hello and Welcome!So glad to join this community! I'm totally new to chickens, but it's been a dream of mine for some years now. We found this site when we were researching coops. It led us to the Omlet Eglu Cube and lots of advice about it. We had our coop and 9 ft run delivered in June and finished building it this month. We're getting some Buff Orpington pullets on Saturday, and we're very excited about it. Still worried about predator proofing our coop. We live in the Northeast Region and our area has raccoons, foxes, and fischer cats. We want to protect our chickens from them.
