LBF (Lick branch farm)
My grandson and I began what will be an on going project yesterday, we set the first of 6 poles for our 12'x16' coop with 2 - 16'x24' runs. One side will be for layers, the other side will be for meat bird grow out. I wanted a coop big enough to house a sizable brooder inside till they were big enough to go into grow out.
My son brought the excavator over several weeks ago and cleared the area we were going to use. We got it somewhat level and began sizing up what we thought we would need. The flock we are planning to keep will be to supply eggs and meat for 3 house holds. As with all projects things will change along the way, I will update this thread as we move along.
This is what we started with....
