hey y'all! i'm a newbie here, and a newbie to raising chickens. i ordered 4 chicks from our local feed store and they arrived a week ago! but we don't have a coop for them yet....
so dh and i built a sweet little doghouse a couple months ago that our coonhound shows no interest in. this weekend, with one week old chicks sitting in their bathtub brooder inside, we will be upgrading the doghouse to a chicken coop!! i've looked through a bunch of the designs on here, but i was wondering if y'all had any suggestions as to the best way to make a nice little home for our four chicks.
the original doghouse was a 3'x4' construction, about 3' high.
any tips??
thanks!!
