Welcome to BYC! You have come to the coolest place on the internet for chicken knowledge.
I started with chickens last summer and the people of BYC have been great. This year I have tried hatching and buying chicks for even more chickeny joy. Please visit my BYC Page for my blog links that you may find informative or amusing.
Suggest you use screws when building your coop so you can rearrange it more easily when you find better ways to do things. In fact, using screws was the only smart decision I made when I built my (first) coop. I am designing new mistakes for my second coop.
