Hi I'm a new member from SW Pennsylvania. I hope to get some chickens soon. I'd love if someone can point me to a thread or video on a how to build a chicken coop. Size, materials to use, materials to avoid, best nest size, how many per bird, how to keep them safe from predators.

Welcome to the forum! As @SilverBirds pointed out, https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/categories/learning-center.11/ the learning center (link above) is the best place to find everything chicken related. More specifically, you can take a look at https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/categories/housing-feeding-your-flock.23/ this subsection, and this one as well https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/categories/chicken-coops.12/ . For even more information, I suggest you make a thread here, https://www.backyardchickens.com/forums/coop-run-design-construction-maintenance.9/ since every situation is different, and thus each coop design is meant to fit your personal needs! Hope this was helpful, and good luck on your project! Hope to see you around
