Hi, I am new to the chicken world and so glad I found this website. Currently I have four pullets-two Black Stars and two Sapphire Gems. They will be two months old on Aug 3. I love them! They are so much fun. I got them for the eggs and a new hobby.
They are in a large dog crate inside a fenced in area 18X18 and my neighbor is about to build a coop and run for me. I've been doing a lot of research on coops and runs and would appreciate any "lessons learned" or just thoughts in general. I plan to use sand, to have a raised coop probably 24sq ft with the run around 8X10 or so. I was thinking of a pull out drawer for easy cleaning and making 3 nesting boxes from plywood.
Any comments welcome!
