In the Brooder
Hi Everyone,
My wife and I live ~2 miles from the Atlanta capitol. We moved into our neighborhood earlier this year. A couple friend of ours purchased a home in the same neighborhood, and their house came with a chicken coop. The currently have 4 hens, about 7 months old.
Our first thoughts were like "chickens! are you serious?!"
We visited with their chickens, and we were immediately hooked!
My wife and I decided to build our own coop. We are almost done, just need to build and put the doors on the coop and add another layer of paint in the coop. I plan I posting the building process on the coop page (having a hard time navigating to the right page).
run foot print: 60 sqft
run heigh: 7 ft front, 6 ft back
coop area: 24 sqft
coop height: 4 ft
Currently, we are asking around for chickens. It seems during the fall it's a bit harder to find chickens people are willing to sell. We'd like to have 4 pastured chickens, various breeds.
Love this website and look forward to interacting in the forums!

. Great to have you here! Lots of folks start out like you - never would have considered chickens and then, BOOM - they're hooked. Looks like you have a great start with that coop. You are correct...chickens to buy this time of year are scarcer than in the warmer months. Are you looking for chicks are started pullets? Advantages and disadvantages to both. I'm biased...I love baby chicks. Here are some links that might help you along:
