Hi,
My family is looking to get a coop and up to four hens this summer. We have been doing lots of research and looking on Craig's list for coops.

Welcome to BYC! If you check out the learning center, there's lots of great articles, and lots of members here have a page with pictures of their coops, in case you were looking for ideas. If you ever have any questions, always feel free to ask! Thanks for joining us!

glad that you have joined us. Coop makers often exaggerate the number of chickens their coops can accommodate, so go for something a little larger than you think you need, if possible.

Best wishes
Ct

Enjoy BYC

I agree with CT...I am having to thin my flock because my roost space is getting crowed in that coop!
