Hi,
I moved from the suburbs to an area just outside the suburbs, and became interested in raising chickens on an impulse. It has turned out well and I have now have a decent flock with two coops. I attached a picture of my latest coop below. It's based on the design by Third Coast Craftsman. I'd eventually like to build a large coop and have 100+ chickens, though that's out of my means right now.

- I started around March 2022 when I got my first chicks from a local feed store. I raised them in a cage that came with my house while I built my first coop.
- 11
- Blue laced red/gold wyandotte, black australorp, silkie
- Spending time outside with them
- 3D CAD modeling, clock repair (novice), music, railroad, basic woodworking
- Mechanical Engineer. My goal is to shift away from the "desk job" world and develop a career oriented more toward craft or agricultural work.
- I found BYC on google while researching how to raise chickens. I finally thought I'd join so I could submit a picture to the photo contest.
It can be difficult to stretch and hard on the hands!
