I am not new to chickens but I am new to some of the new challenges that I am facing. I am sure with the help of the community here at BYC I will receive plenty of great advise.
I have 11 new chickens. 3 Buff Orpingtons, 4 Production Reds and 4 Barred Rock Hens. I mainly chose these birds for two reasons. Temperament and Egg Production. I am also partial to brown eggs. I purchased a coop with the aspirations of maybe 4 or 5 chickens. After thinking it over the majority won and we have 11. Not sure why I didn't do 12 but....anyway. I am in the beginning stages of building a new coop. It will be on the large size with room for a small run below that extends about 8'ft out the back side of the coop.
I am retired at 48 and am looking for good advise.

HELLO EVERYONE!!!

Here are some pics of the new coop build. If you have some ideas please feel free to share them with me.
